An Evening with Mayor Collier

We are truly grateful to everyone who joined us last night for our private holiday gathering with Shaun Collier, Mayor of Ajax. Despite the challenging weather, an incredible number of our invited guests still made it—a testament to the strength, commitment, and warmth of our Connecting GTA community.

Your presence, especially during this busy season, meant more than words can express.

We were honoured to welcome Mayor Collier, whose presence added tremendous value to the evening. Thank you, Mayor Collier as well as Regional Councillor Sterling Lee, Regional Councillor Marilyn Crawford, Councillor Rob Tyler, Councillor Neethan Shan and Dolf DeJong, CEO of Toronto Zoo for taking the time to connect with our members and share in the spirit of community.

A very special thank you goes out to our generous event sponsors, whose support helped make this memorable gathering possible:

Nish Sehgal – World Financial Group
Joel Johnson – Zion Cabinetry
Nithiyan Thava – WedsPro & Niiyo Technology

Your continued support and partnership are deeply appreciated.

This intimate, invitation-only event was curated to bring together leaders, friends, and long-time supporters of Connecting GTA. The meaningful conversations, the genuine connections, and the shared laughter throughout the night were a beautiful reminder of how strong, united, and supportive our CGTA family truly is.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful, peaceful, and bright holiday season ahead.
