Gagan Sikand, the local Member of Parliament for Mississauga-Streetsville, recently visited the Standardbred Canada offices to present a certificate of appreciation to SC President and CEO, Dan Gall.
While in the office, Sikand also met with one of SC’s 2018 summer students, Christina Gillis, who is currently attending the University of Guelph to obtain her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology.
Christina is at SC as part of the Canada Summer Jobs program, which provides funding to allow employers to create summer job opportunities for students. The program gives students the chance to gain work experience while supporting organizations, specifically those that provide important community service.
