“…And although I have never been to your conference, it sure looks like a real winner - and lots of people are talking about it. I attended the last Trillium Chapter dinner and many people asked if I was attending. Sounded like THE event to attend. I'm registered and cannot wait!” Rozalyn Werner-Arcé Director, Marketing and Communications Community Living Ontario
