CAMSC’s 21st Business Achievement Awards Gala
Celebrate CAMSC’s 21st anniversary on September 26th!
Join us to shine light on the heroes of our community, and celebrate the advances in Canadian inclusive procurement with certified suppliers and corporate members. Save your spot at 2025’s CAMSC Business Achievement Awards Gala.
Today, more than ever before, businesses face challenges beyond profitability and bottom line. The political fractures and market instability interfere directly in their capacity to grow and thrive. Cognisant of the size of the mountain we have to climb, CAMSC introduces this year’s theme – Unity: Stronger Together.
We believe the only path to grow amidst uncertainty, is bringing suppliers and corporations from all backgrounds together. Supporting, buying from, and relying on each other.
The 2025 theme is UNITY: Stronger Together.
Through CAMSC’s Business Achievement Awards Gala, we recognize and celebrate the achievements of our suppliers and corporate members over the past year, while providing excellent networking opportunities for all attending.

We want to inspire you! That’s why we always bring a luminaire from the inclusive supplier space to speak at the Business Achievement Awards Gala, and for our 21st anniversary, it wouldn’t be different. In 2025, we’re honoured to welcome Jamaal Magloire —NBA All-Star, community leader, and Toronto Raptors ambassador—as the keynote speaker. A trailblazer both on and off the court, Jamaal brings a powerful message of perseverance, teamwork, and purpose-driven leadership. From his rise as one of Canada’s most celebrated basketball talents to his work empowering youth and communities across the country, Jamaal’s story is one of resilience and inspiration. Prepare to be moved by his insights on building lasting success through collaboration, integrity, and heart.

Let’s not forget that this night is a celebration, and we kick things off in style with a rare presentation. Step into a world of mystery, magic, and mesmerizing artistry featuring the breathtaking Chinese Face-Changing Sichuan Opera. Recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage of China, this spectacle is brought to you by Eason, a talented award-winning disciple of Master Zhang Shuai – one of the main flag-bearers of this ancient art form originated in the Qing dynasty.

Witness the ancient art of Bian Lian, where master performers change elaborate masks in the blink of an eye, right before your eye through centuries-old skill and lightning-fast precision. This rare cultural spectacle combines vibrant costumes, dramatic music, and theatrical storytelling that set the stage for a night to remember.
Of course, that’s not all. ️ On the night of September 26th, we also bring you the electrifying Supersonic Hearts Band!
