2007 Toronto Leadership Dinner - “Celebrating Canada’s Global Military Contribution”

Gord Clarke, President of the Toronto Branch of the RMC Club sent the note below highlighting the 2007 Leadership Dinner.

I hope you join us in Toronto on Grey Cup Weekend!

**********************************************************************

Dear friends and colleagues:

The Toronto Branch of the Royal Military Colleges Club of Canada and the reserve units of the Canadian Forces in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) invite you to a celebration of Canada’s global military contribution to peace and security. The fundraising dinner proceeds will benefit the Wounded Warriors Fund and establish a bursary for attendance at the Royal Military College (RMC) of Canada by members of the Reserve Forces.

At the dinner, we will present the Birchall Leadership Award to Major Danny McLeod, a man who has provided inspired leadership in war and peace as an officer and as a great sportsman and coach with links throughout the hockey community and Canadian university sports organizations. The award is named for Air Commodore Leonard Birchall, a Canadian hero of World War II.

The guest speaker for the occasion is General Rick Hillier, C.M.M., M.S.C., C.D., Chief of the Defence Staff. Serving members of the Reserve Forces and local regiments will be in attendance, as will Officer Cadets from RMC. Entertainment will be provided by military bands from the GTA and RMC.

RMC is a national academic and military institution whose sole purpose is to train Canada’s future officers for leadership roles. The dinner will raise awareness of RMC and its role within the business, government and academic communities in the GTA.

We expect to have more than 500 guests and media in attendance; and there is a very high probability that this event will be quickly sold out. To avoid disappointment you should reserve your seat as soon as possible. [Note that I have also created an 'event' on Facebook for those using that service - PK]

For Corporate Sponsorships, please contact Peter Fosbery at (416) 769-8842.
