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
