// Event photographer: Arvind Sharma // On Wednesday, November 15, we held our 2023 Annual General Meeting and celebrated a major milestone – 25 years of Work in Culture! We are so grateful for and thrilled by the love and support we received from so many of our wonderful partners who showed up to celebrate WIC. Thank you to Maura Broadhurst from the Ontario Arts Council and Mike Rudolph, our new Board chair, for joining us to share a few words about WIC’s impact over the past 25 years. Work in Culture's Executive Director Diane Davy gave attendees a special preview of our soon-to-be-launched website, supported by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and our General Manager Karen Ennis presented the 2023 Bob Johnston Award to this year's recipient, Jeanne LeSage! It was a fantastic evening. To keep the celebration going, we will be delivering some special 25th year programming starting January 2024. Stay tuned!
