The Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce will honour two UWindsor graduates at its annual gala on Friday, June 24: Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Peter Hrastovec (BA 1979, LLB 1982) and outgoing chair Janice Forsyth (BHK 1983, MHK 1989).

Hrastovec, a lawyer at Shibley Righton LLP, has focused his practice on employment and labour law, and commercial litigation. He has served as president of the Windsor Symphony Society, the Rotary Club of Windsor (1918), and the University of Windsor Alumni Association, is a past honorary co-chair of the local United Way campaign and currently chairs the Great Canadian Flag Project to erect a large maple leaf standard at the entrance to Dieppe Gardens. A portion of the proceeds from the gala will support this community endeavour.

The event will also celebrate the accomplishments of Dr. Forsyth, founder of Foresight Management Consulting. In addition to her work with the chamber, she is a member of the Windsor Rotary Club (1918) and the Windsor Symphony Orchestra Chorus.

The Chamber Gala is set for 6 to 11 p.m. June 24 in the St. Clair College Centre for the Arts, located at 201 Riverside Drive West. Tickets are available online at www.windsoressexchamber.org.
