NOTES & NEWS Fall Recruit – Making Connections O n September 8 and 9, more than 1,100 students and recent graduates from all across British Columbia gathered at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel and the Vancouver Convention Centre to attend CPABC’s annual recruiting events and meet with prospective employers. The Mid-Size Firms & Industry Recruiting Event, which took place on September 8, featured representatives from Crowe MacKay, D+H Group, Davidson & Company, DMCL, Manning Elliott, MNP, the Office of the Auditor General of Canada, RHN, Smythe Ratcliffe, TELUS, and Wolrige Mahon. The National Firms Recruiting Event, which was held the following day, featured representatives from BDO, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Grant Thornton, KPMG, and PwC. In mid-September, CPABC held recruiting events on Vancouver Island and in the BC Interior, which were also very well attended. These event days were followed by the application and interview phase of the Fall Recruit process, which culminates in a one-week period during which offers can be made. Once again, we thank everyone who participated in this year’s recruiting events. We also congratulate the students and graduates who subsequently received articling offers—and the employers who hired them!
