Last year, we were honored to host our first networking event with the Toronto Argos.  It was a huge success!!  We had a chance to not only listen to two fantastic speakers, but also enjoy the festivities that came with watching the Argos play and support such a needy cause.  We also had the chance to network with The Argos front office and view their Grey Cup rings.  Join us this year, as we host another spectacular event, brought to you in part by us at Canadian Small Business Women.
