Posted on December 15, 2020October 14, 2022 NEWSNEWS Holiday Message 15 December 2020 - Toronto - Corporate - News President's Holiday Message The holiday season is upon us, and I want to wish you and your loved ones lots of health and happiness. I know many of our celebrations won’t look the same as what we are used to, but I am hopeful that new traditions will be born out of these circumstances. I will remember 2020 as a year of great change and strength for us; At NTN Canada, we have found new ways to serve and connect with our customers and industry partners, and I am honoured to be leading NTN Canada at this time. There is nothing that we cannot do, if we do it together. We will be traveling through the rough waters of change in 2021 and our employees will need to put their shoulders to the wheel to make it happen. Won’t it be incredible to see what we can accomplish next! What we see, as clearly as ever, is an NTN community that has rallied together and demonstrated its finest qualities during this pandemic. Our NTN employees have volunteered to help others in our community by collecting a wide range of donations, from clothing and food items for local charities to fundraising for SickKids Hospital through our NTN Holiday Bear Campaign. Over the last few months, volunteers from NTN have also reached out to the Haven Toronto Shelter and provided lunches to support the homeless as well as donated an outdoor canopy to ensure clients would be safely sheltered this winter when picking up meals. I have been so inspired again and again by our people who are taking actions to help those less fortunate this Christmas. Please accept my best wishes for a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year filled with health and prosperity. Never forget that we are all part of the NTN family. Never forget that kindness is something that you can never give away, it always comes back and that giving is the best antidepressant out there. Take care my friends and take care of those near and close to you. I truly believe that our best days are ahead of us and together we will emerge from this challenging year stronger than ever.
