TOP 30 UNDER 30 AWARDS CEREMONY

Congratulations to each of the 2017 Top 30 Under 30 Award winners. We were so pleased to have been able to celebrate their accomplishments at the Top 30 Under 30 Award Ceremony recently held at the GBC Centre for Hospitality and Culinary Arts atrium.

A very large thank you to our Venue Sponsors, The Chefs’ House, for providing the most delicious food for the event and thank you to all the students that helped Chef Oliver Li once again produce the most amazing spread. Another big thank you goes out to another one of the Ontario Hostelry Institute’s long-time sponsors, ESKA water, for once again being our Water Sponsor and providing the still and sparkling spring water for the event. Thank you to our Beer Sponsor, Steam Whistle, for providing their amazing Pilsner and to Andrew Peller Limited for providing the beautiful selection of red and white wine.

We would also like to thank Steven Salm for taking time out of his busy schedule to address our new Top 30 Under 30 winners and their guests. Steven who is the President of Chase Hospitality Group was a Top 30 Under 30 recipient in 2011. You will likely know some of Chase Hospitality Group’s restaurants; The Chase, The Chase Fish and Oyster as well as Collette Grand Café and Kasa Motto. Thank you Steven for your great words of wisdom!
