“We received over 80 submissions from across Canada for our first CAFTCAD Awards, and it has filled my heart to the brim. I’m so impressed with the talent we have here! It speaks directly to the reason we decided to hold this event in the first place. I’m so blessed to be able to share all these incredible people and their work at the event,” said Syrokomla.
