This will be quite a year to remember – Not because of the forest fire devastation of Fort McMurray but really because of the huge selfless and thoughtful response of people , companies and organizations to help out in any way they could . It took CIM , the Districts , Branches and
Societies a mere blink of the eye to raise $ 100, 000 . Similarly , this held true for many people , groups , companies and organizations in raising money orr even givingg of time , resources or anything to ease the burden of the Fort McMurray evacuees . This is what I will remember and
I am very thankful to be one person among so many considerate and caring peoplee . Thank you all .
Another great summer is behind us and we are now entering Fall . This is the time for the annual
