Sugar Bush Breakfast

WICC Ottawa Chapter held a Sugar Bush Breakfast at the National Arts Centre on Apr. 1. More than 230 industry supporters came out to enjoy typical light sugar bush food fare, live music and even maple taffy on snow — in the middle of the city. Special guest Dawn Cooper, manager of the Canadian Cancer Society Ottawa unit, gave a presentation on local CCS initiatives and programs. Cooper accepted a $25,000 cheque from WICC, representing funds raised during the 2010 WICC Ottawa Chapter Wine and Cheese event on Oct. 28. An additional $8,500 was raised at the Sugar Bush Breakfast in support of WICC. The Breakfast Committee included Kimberley Jeffries (Novatech); Samantha Iturregui (Kelly Santini LLP); and WICC Ottawa co-chair and event chair Sylvie Tremblay [Crawford & Company (Canada) Inc.]. Special recognition went to all other WICC Ottawa members, including Marcella MacDonald, WICC Ottawa co-chair and Wine and Cheese event chair (ENCON Group Inc.), and Barb Reddick, WICC Ontario executive director.
