A celebration of the industry at ACTA Ontario's 27th Annual Golf Tournament
ACTA Ontario 27th Annual Golf Tournament
On Wednesday July 8, 2015 at the Royal Ontario Golf course in Milton 160 golfers took to the greens on one of the nicest summer days yet! It was the perfect day in so many ways, a great networking reception hosted by Toronto Pearson International Airport (GTAA), awesome weather, wonderful prizes and a great day out of the office reconnecting with our industry friends. David McCaig, ACTA President and COO was the MC for the evening and Duncan Bureau, Vice President Global Sales Air Canada thanked the 200 in attendance at the dinner reception for their continued support of Air Canada.
With a golf waitlist that was never ending we will have to come up with a great plan for next year to accommodate everyone!
