Co-Presidents Message
Our community matters. There are moments like the 2026 CPRS Toronto ACE Awards that remind us why community matters.
Our industry is fast-paced. The world has been changing rapidly. And for so many, it’s been a lot. The evening became an opportunity for us to pause and celebrate our industry.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who attended, participated in and supported this year’s ACE Awards. We were deeply moved by the energy in the room, the generosity of spirit, the laughter, the celebration and the overwhelming sense of connection shared throughout the evening.
To all of this year’s recipients and nominees, congratulations. Your work continues to elevate the communications profession and inspire the next generation of leaders in our industry. It was an honour to celebrate your achievements alongside you.
We would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible volunteer team and ACE Awards planning committee, whose hard work, care and dedication helped bring this event to life behind the scenes.
A special thank you to Sarah Louise and the judging team for the tremendous time, thoughtfulness and expertise devoted to this year’s awards program. Your commitment to recognizing excellence across our industry does not go unnoticed.
To the CPRS Toronto Board of Directors, thank you for your continued support, encouragement and belief in this event and in the future of our community.
We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Lois Marsh for her continued guidance, support and leadership throughout this process. Your generosity and steady presence meant more than words can express.
Thank you as well to our valued sponsors and partners, including The Canadian Press, Craft Public Relations, the National Payroll Institute and The Fitzroy, along with the exceptional teams at The Carlu and Encore for helping create such a memorable evening.
Most importantly, thank you to our members and guests for continuing to keep the spirit of community alive within CPRS Toronto. In a profession built on communication, connection remains our greatest strength.
Sincerely,
Andrea Chrysanthou, APR & Erin Griffin
