Join us on Friday, November 25th, 2011 at the Great Canadian Theatre Company to hear how one extraordinary modern mom with a VERY large brood of 8 kids (yes 8!) AND a company that has made both the Profit 100 and Profit Women’s 100, manages work and play with a can-do attitude!

Featured Speaker:

Since then they have continuously been a top job creator in their market, dedicated to expanding nationally while enhancing their products and services by becoming a source for other corporate wellness programs. Victoria is a recognized expert in the child care field with more than 20 years of experience. She also studied business administration at the University of Western Ontario. Her expertise provides strategic direction for the company, as well as leadership.
