An ENORMOUS Thank You to our Sponsors
Without forward thinkers like our founding partner, Barb and Larry Hall of South Georgian Bay Innovation Fund, and local sponsors Paul Chapman of RBC Wealth Management and our talented production sponsor Jeff MacInnis of Win Thinking, a day like today could never have been as successful.
