Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd., the world’s largest brand name supplier of injection molding equipment and services to the plastics industry, has stepped up as the sponsor of the Caledon Day Main Stage, which, this year, brings headliner, and Juno Award winning rockers, Sloan to Caledon.
“Husky is a globally-respected organization with impressive worldwide success, and we have always been proud that they are one of the crown jewels of Caledon’s business community,” said Mayor Allan Thompson. “I know my councillors join me in thanking Husky for partnering with us as the lead sponsor of our signature community event.”
“Our mandate and our markets are worldwide,” said John Galt, president and CEO of Husky. “But we’ve never forgotten our roots here in Caledon and it gives us tremendous pride to be associated with this wonderful community event.”
“Husky is a company with world-wide reach,” Vice-President Corporate Services, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary Michael McKendry remarked, adding the company is always mindful of its commitment to community. He pointed out a lot of the company’s employees live in town, and have meaningful connections with the community.
“Caledon Day is a chance for all of us to come together to celebrate those connections,” he said.
Set to take the stage June 17, Sloan is an award-winning band, with a career spanning more than 25 years, and 11 albums. The band has received a Juno Award for Best Alternative Album, and many more Juno nominations, including Best Rock Album. Sloan has released more than 30 singles, with Everything You’ve Done Wrong, The Good in Everyone and Money City Maniacs making the top 10 charts in Canada.
Opening for Sloan will be Practically Hip, a Tragically Hip tribute band based in Southern Ontario. Practically Hip was established in 1997, and has played clubs, universities, and colleges in Canada and the United States. The band appeared with acts such as Kim Mitchell, David Wilcox, Colin James, Big Wreck, Sass Jordan, and Gowan.
