" It
was a great pleasure to meet you all and to be part of,
what was for CIMA generally and CIMA Canada in particular
a 'Tour de Force!' I thought the intention to run this
as a social community project bringing the communities
of the City of Toronto was tremendously impressive, managing
also to get both Mayor David Miller and Chief of Police
William Blair to be involved was inspirational."
