On a beautiful evening at the iconic Maritime Heritage Centre, Alitis Investment Counsel marked a significant milestone—our 15th anniversary. The event was a heartfelt expression of appreciation for our clients, many of whom have been with the firm since the very beginning. It was an evening that perfectly embodied the values of Alitis: quality, team, engagement, and community, all while celebrating the relationships we’ve nurtured over the years.
The celebration was a perfect blend of elegance and enjoyment. Guests were greeted with a lively and festive atmosphere, enhanced by the stunning waterfront views, which included the sight of two cruise ships gracefully passing by.
A highlight of the evening was the interactive and fun addition of Hello Photobooth, which gave everyone the opportunity to commemorate the event with their own photo to take home. Whether posing with colleagues or sharing a laugh with old friends, the photobooth proved to be a hit.
