The CYC has been incredibly beneficial to my business. From the moment I joined, I felt as though they truly cared about my business and its success. From the networking events and Leadership Development program to the Home Show and pop-up opportunities, the CYC has given me countless opportunities to grow and scale. I’ve been able to build a wonderful network of other professionals (it takes a village) and I am forever grateful to the CYC team for continuing to enable my business to grow.

That was so much fun!! Last night’s Lunar New Year celebration was nothing short of amazing—from breathtaking performances, including traditional dancers, a lively lion dance, and a beautiful tea ceremony to wrap up the evening. We loved every minute of it and are so appreciative of all of …you who came out to enjoy the night with us. More than just a celebration, this event was a chance to build new connections and strengthen ties. And that’s what the CYC is all about! A big thank you to BMO (Upper Canada location) and Jim Sun from @emperormortgagegroup for providing the lucky draw giveaways! Also thank you to @phofusion.newmarket for supplying some delicious food (go check them out at 16700 Bayview Ave. Newmarket!). And a huge thank you to Benson Leung and Lili Lee for helping us create a very special event!

Yesterday, the Awesome Foundation Newmarket awarded $1,000 to the @bridgenorthorg LifeEdge Access Program, which provides vital resources for youth in our community who have experienced sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. For many, simply reaching a safe space to access counseling and… support is a major challenge. This funding will help remove transportation barriers, making it easier for these youth to stay connected, engaged, and safe. Pictured with support workers from Bridgenorth are trustees Chris Emanuel, Kristin Burns, Jackie Playter, Tim McClure, Lynnette Lanning, and Juliane Goyette. Missing were trustees Hollie Hoadley, Samantha Timbers, Vickie Sparks, Wasim Jarrah, Maria Ciaralindini, and David Faingold.

Great conversations, valuable connections, and fresh insights made for a morning well spent at our Breakfast Networking event! A big thanks to @amillionmouthfulscatering for the incredible breakfast that fueled our networking and to @ericjohnstonrealtor for delivering such an engaging …talk! Eric shared game-changing strategies on capturing your audience, making a lasting impression, and why print still has its place in marketing. And one key takeaway we won’t forget: the law of reciprocity does wonders! We’re walking away inspired and ready to put these insights into action! Looking forward to keeping the momentum going at our next event (which you can still register for with the link in our bio!)
