Mr. C's a great host for a big networking crowd


The Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade enjoyed a crowd of more than 70 members and future members along with amazing dinner samples at its March 9 Networking After 5, hosted at Mr. C's Restaurant at Deer Creek Golf Clubs

A view of the fantastic food and exceptional presentation, served up by friendly staff at Mr. C's.

Sponsors for the Networking series this year are CIBC, Johnson Inc. Insurance, R&G Auto Centre and Sun Life Financial advisor Don Turnbull. Our event sponsors at Mr. C's were Express Employment Professionals, First Durham Insurance and Financial and Grandview Children's Foundation.

Paul Bertrand offered an eloquent description of the many ways Express Employment Professionals can help businesses with hiring the best people and providing leadership to their staff.

As always, the Networking format allowed for two minutes at the mic for the sponsors to share the details of their businesses and some of the Board's newer members attending their first events had 30 seconds at the mic.
