Weekly Message from Our Director & CEO, Stephan Jost

Hello everyone,

I am enjoying hosting guests at the Bistro patio outside along Dundas. The Development team is doing a wonderful job bringing donors onsite. They are in action every day and it’s great to see them deepening relationships with AGO supporters. If you haven’t had a chance to enjoy lunch at the patio, do it soon while the weather is still glorious. Thank you to the Bistro servers who are creating a welcoming and safe dining experience for our public.

September 30th carries additional significance this year. In June, the Federal Government of Canada announced this date as a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is deeply important to engage in learning and acknowledgement of the history of the country from an Indigenous perspective. The AGO will be open on this date and will invite visitors to be in reflection. Educational resources will be provided to our employees and volunteers as well as our public. Stay tuned for further details.

Take care and stay safe,

Stephan
