Congratulations!
Congratulations to our winners, and to all of the teams that participated in Canstruction 2009. The recession did not deter our teams and sponsors – this year we were able to raise over 79,662 pounds of food for Daily Bread Food Bank. We should all be proud of what was accomplished!
Also, on behalf of the Society for Design Administration Canada, a note of thanks to a wonderful individual (who wished to remain anonymous) who was kind enough to donate to our Canstruction event. She heard about Canstruction and thought it was a very worthy cause to contribute to. Thank You!
We are excited that this year Canstruction was featured on Citytv’s BT, and in the Daily Commercial News.
As well, a few SDA members put together a team to participate in Daily Bread Food Bank’s 24-hr Sort Relay on November 12, 2009. With Canstruction donating such a large amount of food, there was certainly a lot to sort. Thank you to the team and extended team members who helped out; it was a fun event!
Sharpening your presentation skills
 On behalf of SDA Canada, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank David Greusel of Populous, who presented “Sharpening Your Presentation Skills” to our members and guests on Thursday, 22 October 2009. David’s presentation was very well received, and we look forward to the possibility of inviting David to speak to us again real soon.
Please check the Members Only section of SDA Canada’s website for a copy of his presentation.
