Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) felicitated its volunteers at a Volunteers’ Night on August 28, at Avani restaurant in Mississauga. The event was attended by over 50 volunteers and some members of the board of directors of the Chamber.
The ICCC is privileged to have always had unstinting support of a legion of volunteers who have helped accomplish a large part of the Chamber’s mandate. “Volunteering is a big tradition in Canada, and we at the Chamber have adopted it since the Chamber’s inception in 1977,” Naval Bajaj, President, ICCC said on the occasion.
In 2011-12, ICCC organised over 80 events between July 2011 and June 2012, and the volunteers played a pivotal role in making these events successfully. Recalling some of these events at the felicitation program, Naval Bajaj said, “The Chamber is proud of you, proud of your effort, proud of your support. If it were not for volunteers, our Chamber wouldn’t be able to do anything besides a few programs in a year. That we do so many programs every year is thanks to volunteers like you.”
The Chamber depends upon volunteer support for all of its marquee events such as the Annual Awards and Gala Night, the Holiday Dinner and Dance, the Annual Charity Golf Classic. The volunteer appreciation dinner was a small measure of thanking all volunteers for their dedication and involvement.
