HALO Partners with Junior Achievement Central Ontario to Celebrate 50 Years

In June 2018, JA Central Ontario celebrated its 50th Anniversary. To mark this important milestone HALO created a 50th Homecoming activation event with the goal of creating new opportunities to engage and steward the support of the organization’s 1.5MM+ alumni – students and volunteers living in the GTA.

JA launched its Celebrity Networking Contest to recognize the important role that networking plays in a person’s career. The organization engaged a total of eight highly accomplished business men and women all of who epitomize the entrepreneurial spirit that the JA brand is known for. Celebrity participants and JA supporters included: Amanda Lang - Anchor, BNN Bloomberg; George Stroumboulopoulos - Anchor and Executive Producer and Lou Eccleston - CEO, TMX Group. Contestants entered online to win a chance to meet and learn from one of these individuals by entering contests scheduled from June to November 2018.  Winners also received a business book selected by each celebrity as a permanent keepsake.
