Events such as the Fitness and Sports Recognition Banquet would not be possible without the continued support of our sponsors. With their help, our Fitness and Sports programs are able to flourish and be successful. Thank you to this year’s sponsors, James Braden Ford (Gold level sponsor), Athletico Sports Physiotherapy (Bronze level sponsor), Coca-Cola/Powerade (Bronze level sponsor), and VIA Rail Canada (Bronze level sponsor). The sponsors also donated numerous prizes which were given throughout the evening to a few lucky attendees. Without their support, our programs and events would not be possible.
Once again, well-deserved congratulations go out to the award winners as their hard work and determination has paid off. As well, thank you again to our generous corporate sponsors whom made this event possible.
