Hundreds of CMG members turned out for the annual CMG Toronto Annual Holiday Party at the Baton Rouge restaurant in the Toronto Convention Centre, a chance for us to gather and honour each other in a very tough year. The event was very well received & the new venue was very successful!
Speeches by LEC President Naomi Robinson, Director of Human Rights and Equity Kam Rao, CBC Branch Vice-President Michael D’Souza and CMG Vice-President Lise Lareau really hit the mark.
Once again, Randy Persaud played host, with his awe-inspiring, spirit-lifting enthusiasm on the mic, and really lit the place up.
Here are the winners of the door prizes:
-Lynne Burgess (InterContinental Toronto Centre Hotel & hoodie)
-Melissa Bruno (CN Tower pack & CMG swag bag)
-Trung Tran (Westin Harbour Castle & CMG swag bag)
-Anne Megas (Boston Pizza gift card & CD’s & hoodie)
-Claryse Boulineau (Tarot card reading & Baton Rouge gift card)
-Michelle Cho (Lone Star gift card & Steven & Chris swag)
-Dominique Banoun (Jan Wong book & CMG swag)
-Jordanna Lake (SoHo Metropolitan Hotel & Baton Rouge gift card)
CBC Media librarian Jacqueline Lee won the 50/50 draw – $215 for her and the same for the Daily Bread Food Bank (which was donated via Sounds of the Season!)
