RIMS Canada Night Celebration

A mountie (albeit, with a Boston accent) guided Canadian delegates of the RIMS 2010 Annual Conference & Exhibition in Boston to the RIMS Canada Night Celebration at the Sheraton Boston. Sponsored by SCM Insurance Services and the Canadian Litigation Counsel, attendees were greeted with a patriotic red cocktail and treated to a ‘Boston: Then and Now’ coffee table book as a souvenir. Joseph Restoule, president of the William H. McGannon Foundation, accepted $20,000 in donations ($10,000 from the RIMS Canada Council and Newfoundland and Labrador Chapter and $10,000 from SCM Insurance Services). Restoule also offered an update on the McGannon Foundation’s achievements. It granted four scholarships in 2009 totaling $12,500. The foundation also launched its first Student Involvement Program at the RIMS Canada conference in St. John’s. The program allowed two risk management students to attend the conference under the mentor-ship of members of the RIMS Community.
