Dear Members,
I’m thrilled to share that the CTCC Awards Gala 2025 was a resounding success! With over 600 guests in attendance, it was a night filled with inspiration, celebration, and community pride.
A special thank you to our sponsors, advertisers, and participants—your generous support and involvement made this event possible. I also want to recognize our Board Members and vendors for their hard work and dedication behind the scenes. Your efforts ensured that every detail was executed to perfection.
One of the most powerful moments of the evening was the presentation of a $1,035,000 cheque to the Tamil Community Centre. This historic donation, made possible by the generosity of CTCC members, reflects our collective commitment to building lasting institutions for our community.
I’m also excited to share that we are expanding the CTCC Business Centre by purchasing Unit 3 to better serve our members and support our growing list of programs. As always, we need your continued support to make this vision a reality—together, we build stronger.
Looking ahead, with summer around the corner, we’re gearing up for some exciting programs, including:
Stay tuned for more announcements and get involved—CTCC is your chamber, and your participation makes all the difference.
Warm regards,
Ari A. Ariaran
