Co-Presidents Message
With so much happening in the world around us, many of us have found ourselves reflecting on what it means to call Canada home. We are grateful, not only to live in this remarkable country, but also to belong to a community that shares our values, our ideals, and our belief in the power of communication. As members of CPRS Toronto, we are united by both our profession and our pride in being Canadian.
CPRS is, at its core, a uniquely Canadian institution. Since its founding in 1948, the Canadian Public Relations Society has been the first and leading organization dedicated to representing our profession in this country. For more than seven decades, CPRS has championed Canadian public relations professionals and advanced the standards, ethics, and practices that shape our work today.
Thank you for choosing to be a member of CPRS Toronto. Your membership reflects a shared belief in the strength of our industry and a commitment to being part of a community that helps our profession grow, evolve, and thrive. It signals that you believe in the values we hold dear—collaboration, integrity, respect, and the uniquely Canadian spirit of supporting one another.
It’s with those values in mind that our Board selected Canadiana as the theme for this year’s CPRS Toronto ACE Awards. We remain focused on the needs of our members and the future of our profession. Canadiana allows us to celebrate not only the outstanding work of our colleagues, but also the principles that define us: fairness, equity, inclusion, freedom of expression, and our shared commitment to standing up for what’s right.
The ACE Awards will be a night to honour the excellence of our industry and to celebrate what unites us as Canadians. We hope you will join us for an evening that showcases our talent, reflects our pride, and reminds us why we remain “north, strong, and free.”
Thank you once again for being part of CPRS Toronto.
Together…WE ARE CANADIAN.
Sincerely,
Andrea Chrysanthou, APR & Erin Griffin
Co-Presidents, CPRS Toronto
