On December 3, we proudly hosted the inaugural event of the Canadian Afro-CARICOM Business Trade Association (CACBTA), a cornerstone initiative of Business Exchange Network Toronto I Matrix Cares. This impactful gathering brought together representatives from all Caribbean nations, local officials, and community leaders to foster connections, promote cultural understanding, and explore trade opportunities with CARICOM. Attendees gained valuable insights into leveraging trade agreements and accessing vibrant markets in agriculture, tech, and services—shaping a brighter future for trade in 2025 and beyond. We’re excited to build on this momentum and continue driving meaningful partnerships that unlock opportunities in Canada and beyond. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this milestone event a success—we look forward to what’s next! Dwayne "DeRo" De Rosario Mary Ng Vijay Thanigasalam Andrea Hazell MPP, Scarborough - Guildwood Brad Bradford Shawn Allen Melissa H.

Thank You, Wisdom Tettey. As we bid farewell to Wisdom Tettey, the Vice-President and Principal of the University of Toronto Scarborough, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for his unwavering dedication to our community, the Scarborough Business Association and the Toronto Business Summit. Wisdom's leadership has been transformative. His initiatives, including the launch of the strategic plan “Inspiring Inclusive Excellence” and the Scarborough Charter on Anti-Black Racism, have not only enriched our campus but have also fostered a culture of inclusion and diversity that will resonate for years to come. His efforts in strengthening ties with institutions in Africa and overseeing significant projects like Harmony Commons and the Sam Ibrahim Centre for Inclusive Excellence have left a lasting impact on U of T Scarborough. Thank you, Wisdom, for your commitment, vision, and the remarkable legacy you leave behind. We wish you all the best as you embark on this exciting new chapter at Carleton University!
