Celebrating Success with the 2012 CLAEO Banquet

The 2012 Annual CLAEO Banquet was held on March 28th at Tudor Hall. Over one hundred guests were in attendance.

Fine company, food, and drink were enjoyed by all!

The evening began with a cocktail hour followed by a spectacular meal by the great staff at Tudor Hall. The seats were packed with record attendance as we moved into a fun and interesting presentation by “Paver Pete” Sponsored by Techo-Bloc. After the presentation, Jim Holdcroft and Ian Rowbotham presented a custom “Paver Pete” Sens jersey.

Thank you Paver Pete!

We then took the opportunity to thank last year’s presenter, Jerry Corush with a certificate for a hot air balloon flight as a token of our appreciation for his presentation in 2011, which was a great look at some of the re-development happening in Lansdowne Park.

After the thank-you’s, we moved on to one of the best parts of the evening: celebrating and recognizing young minds by presenting cheques for our bursary winners from Algonquin College, University of Guelph, and Kemptville College. Jim and Ian presented this year’s cheques to tomorrow’s budding commercial landscape contractors.
