CCI Toronto Chapter History
CCI Toronto wants to thank all of the pioneers that formed the original steering committee and helped guide the formation of this chapter in the years leading up to the chapter's official independent status on October 24, 1989. Without your efforts this rich history of volunteers would not be here today.
