After three consecutive years of rain interruptions
at this event, rain finally kept away from the
2011 CIMA Mayor's Trophy which ended with Toronto
Police winning the Cup and Metro News winning
the CIMA Media Trophy.
Harold Baird, the President of the Chartered
Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), and
Gulzari Babber, the Deputy President, traveled
to Toronto to join Toronto Mayor Ford and MPP
Christine Elliott at the successfully concluded
seventh annual CIMA Mayor’s Trophy. Large
crowds from Toronto’s diverse communities
attended the seventh annual CIMA Mayor’s
Trophy held on June 25, 2011 at the Sunnybrook
Park in Toronto
“We are delighted to see such a broad representation
of Toronto’s public, private and media institutions
coming together with CIMA in our annual community
event,” says Amal Ratnayake, Chair of the
Board of Directors of CIMA Canada. “With
the help from our sponsors and community partners,
this event has helped CIMA give back to our community
with a particular focus on youth. CIMA Mayor’s
School Cricket Tournament and the Cricket Across
the Pond scholarship program are direct results
of the success we achieved through the Mayor’s
Trophy”
Media cricket teams from the Globe and Mail, Toronto
Star, Toronto Sun, OMNI TV and CBC participated
in the event and NEWSTALK 1010 joined CIMA as
a media partner. These partnerships helped attract
extensive media coverage for the youth initiative.
The TTC Chief General Manager Gary Webster was
on hand to Cheer the TTC Cricket Team. Deputy
Police Chief Peter Sloly and the Chair of the
Police Services Board Dr. Alok Mukherjee were
there to cheer the Toronto Police team. Transportation
Minister Kathleen Wynne cheered GO Transit to

and Joe Mihevc attended the event supporting CIMA
Cricket initiatives. Mayor Rob Ford and MPP Chrstine
Elliott were the Chief Guests at the event.
CIMA Canada wishes to thank CIMA President Harold
Baird, Deputy President Gulzari Babber, and our
sponsors and partners for helping CIMA organize
another successful Mayor's Trophy.
