A first for us this year, Carlton Promotions has returned from a coast-to-coast convention tour. We were very greatful to the NLFL and BCFED for allowing us to attend each of their events. Meeting many new supporters of the labour movement across Canada was such a wonderful treat. Even though the conventions are serious business, it's still important to have a little fun and bond with new friends. Check-out some snippits of our founder Robert Smith building what will hopefully be lasting connections.

That time of year where we all march in support of fairness for workers. The first parade took place in December 1872, and on July 23, 1894, John Thompson delcared Labour Day an official holiday, making it the first Monday of September. Subsequent parades took place on this date with the modern parade being organized by the Toronto and York Region Labour Council. 144 years later we are keeping this tradition of unification strong, so let's get out there and show solidarity for one another.

A myriad of green and orange flowed through the streets of Toronto this past Sunday as the 29th St. Patrick's Day Parade kicked off Downtown. Many notable figures participated in the parade, including Mayor John Tory accompanied by no less than Ray Bassett, Ireland's ambassador to Canada, Bahamas and Jamaica. Another notable figure some of you may have recognized was none other than Carlton Promotions very own Bob Smith.

Sporting a St. Patrick's Day Toque and Jacket, both Canadaian-Union made for some of our clients, Bob helped celebrate Irish Heritage here in Toronto. Even with the chill in the air, smiles and cheers were heard all around as thousands came out to watch the parade. Now that St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, Thursday, March 17, 2016, maybe we'll all get a taste of that famous luck of the Irish. SLAINTE!

A first for Robert Smith, who is of Irish decent, is his participation in the upcoming Toronto St. Patrick's Day Parade. We are very excited and honored to be involved in this long-standing Toronto tradition.

Simultaneously, those in Ireland will be commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising - a small uprising which ultimately set in motion the events which led to Irish independence.

We hope to honor this commemorative moment and support Irish heritage throughout the city. If you're able to do so this weekend, drop by the parade and show off your green side Sunday, March 13, 2016. The parade will begin at Bloor and St. George at 8:00 a.m. and continue along Bloor Street, down Yonge and finish on Queen Street at Nathan Philips Square. It's expected to take between one and one and a half hours.
