SCCC Events (August 2017)

The Extra Mile on May 18, 2017

Success is about how you handle failure! It is how you handle setbacks and challenges that will define you and your career.

Our event featured 4 entrepreneurs who spoke about their professional setbacks, failures and opportunities, how they reacted to them and how they succeeded. They have all been empowered to go the Extra Mile and shared their insights and practical advise on this important topic.

This first time event turned out to be a great success. It was entertaining and serious at the same time and inspired every single member of the audience. The speeches were followed by a Q&A session and cocktails and networking. SwissRe kindly provided their meeting room facilities for this unique event.

Speakers:

Lori Cassidy - Vice President and Finance Director, Zürich Canada
Liloo Alim - Chef Concierge, Four Seasons Hotel Toronto
Karim Ali - CEO, Algocian
Charley Best - Vice President, Issues Central, Inc., Toronto, Canada

Moderator:

Daryl Angier, Manager of Media & Public Relations, Zürich Canada

Golf Tournament on June 15, 2017

Our golf tournament on June 15th at King’s Riding Golf Club turned out to be a success again. Over 100 players enjoyed a great day of golf despite heavy rain showers; not only the golfers kept going, but so did the two Alphorn players! Like every year, the numerous on- and off-course activities as well as the silent auction and cocktails enabled people to easily mingle and network. As an organization we are lucky to have the support of companies and individuals alike. The SCCC golf committee would like to sincerely thank the following sponsors:
