On Tuesday, October 4, 2016, Hogg Shain & Scheck proudly presented and hosted a harvest-themed Open House to welcome all staff and clients to their new offices. It was a huge success that was filled with laughter, learning and celebration.
Attendees from prominent financial institutions and partner groups such as RBC, BDC and TD were present. Along with current clients, Ryerson Alumni and staff of the firm.
To break in their new space, the open house was catered by Citizen Toronto, that featured delicious food like their braised beef gnocchi station, smoked meat station and hors d’oeuvres like a smoked trout canape and fresh salad rolls. Mixed in with the food was a candy station that was a crowd favourite.
Entertainment did not lack at the Open House either, with our very own digital caricaturist to amuse the crowds and even a virtual reality station where one could enter an alternate reality for a short period of time. There was even a raffle draw where the three winners won a special prize harvest-themed! The lucky winners of the raffle prize included Debbie Maggiotto and Susan Demutu, congratulations to our winners!
