Landscape Ontario’s Georgian Lakelands Chapter celebrated its fifth annual Awards of Distinction at Casino Rama in Orillia, Ont. Emceed by chapter board member Teresa Matamoros, the evening event, held Nov. 28, 2019, included socializing and dinner prior to the announcement of winners.

With nearly 100 people in attendance, organizers are pleased to announce this year’s event was the largest one yet.

The chapter would like to thank the generous sponsors and volunteers who helped make this event possible, including Barrie’s Garden Centre who donated beautiful poinsettias for the tables.
