Oh Canada, congratulations on turning 155 years old today! Thank you for being Avolta’s foundation as we started this journey over a year ago. We are growing ever more so and as we continue to evolve and connect with the rest of the world, today we shall take a step back and reflect on the love, support, and opportunity you provided for us. To all of our viewers: thank you for your ongoing support and to Avolta team members: thank you for your ongoing passion and dedication. We invite all of you who are Canadian-bound to enjoy the Canada Day festivities and to enjoy the rest of the long-weekend with friends, family, and loved ones. Happy birthday Canada!
