DR.STEVE GUPTA AWARDED THE 2021 ORDER OF ONTARIO: THE PROVINCE'S HIGHEST CIVILIAN HONOUR
*** Reposted from ***
It is with great pride and pleasure that I announce to you all today that our Executive Chairman, Dr. Steve Gupta, has been awarded The Order of Ontario.
The Order of Ontario is the province’s highest civilian honour. This is awarded to an Ontarian who has shown the highest level of excellence and achievement in any field, and whose impact has left a lasting legacy in our province, in our country, and around the world.
On Friday, November 4, the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario appointed Dr. Gupta to the Order of Ontario.
I have watched my father, since my early childhood years, work so hard to build this company from one gas station in Port Hope, Ontario to what is today - an award-winning organization with 25 hotels and counting across Ontario and Quebec. He also took the leap to residential real estate and redefined development with two high-rise residential and one commercial property in our portfolio and five more high-rise residential projects under development.
Moreover, I also watched him give back, not only to our community but to the world. He has sat on numerous governing boards including Centenary Hospital/Rouge Valley Health System, Ontario College of Pharmacists, and the University of Toronto, to name a select few. He also has built and created Eye Camps in rural India, where over 50,000 patients have been treated for eye disease, given life-changing surgeries, and more. He helped Gujarat after the devastating earthquake and built sanitation systems for girls' schools. He always made it a priority to give back and selflessly help others, whether it's via philanthropy, mentorship, or with his time.
He is an inspiration, a mentor, and a true example of humble excellence. Dad - We are so proud of you!
Join me in congratulating Dr. Steve Gupta on this phenomenal achievement!
