Guests came from across Canada to attend Castle’s pinnacle event and included many local area shareholders, Castle board of directors, valued vendor partners as well as Castle’s very own dedicated staff; both past and present.
 The catered affair included gourmet food stations, a live jazz duo; a 50th anniversary presentation and special guests. The presentations were kicked off by Master of Ceremonies; Ron Craighead; CBS National Business Development Manager and included warm remarks from Castle Chair; Vicki Hagel of Cook Street Castle who flew in from Victoria, BC for the festivities. Remarks of gratitude from long time Vendor Partners were shared with the crowd as well as a very special appearance by the forever spirited; Her Worship Mayor Hazel McCallion who is currently serving her 12th term in office for the City of Mississauga.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary a scholarship program was established for Castle members and their employees, as well as Castle staff and their families. The program recognized students with academic excellence and a passion to lead and inspire positive change in their communities. The recipients of the scholarships were honoured to highlight their achievements.
 Castle was excited to present the winning cheque in their 50th Anniversary 50K Giveaway contest which was held this past summer at participating Castle Building Centres locations across Canada. It was the largest and the most publicized contest promotion in the history of Castle with over 125,000 ballots compiled from participating Castle locations. The winning name was drawn on September 16th; Sarah Klassen of Ingersoll, ON who filled in the winning ballot
 at Allen Building Center in Woodstock, ON, was the big 50K winner. Sarah and husband George were invited to the Open House to accept the winning cheque
on behalf of Castle.
The presentations wrapped up with an inspiring and heartfelt message and thank you from Castle President; Ken Jenkins. "We are looking forward to "life after 50" and our commitment to the success of our members will continue to be our priority. When you become committed to empowering success in others; great opportunities arise."
