DJB’s HR Advisory team is proud to support the local community as a presenting sponsor of the Secret Path Live in Concert performance at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre in St. Catharines on Thursday, October 16, 2025 at 7:30pm.
This particular performance ties into our advocacy for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a time to reflect, to listen, and to honour the lives forever changed by Canada’s residential school system. Secret Path is more than a concert; it’s a powerful tribute to the story of Chanie Wenjack and the thousands of Indigenous children whose voices were silenced. By supporting this event, we stand in solidarity with survivors, families, and communities, and reaffirm our commitment to fostering understanding, compassion, and lasting change.
Seven years strong! We’re honored to be named “Best in the West” and receive the Diamond Award in the Accounting Firm category from the readers of NewsNow.
Thank you for trusting us year after year!
