Commendation for Solicitor Steve Anderson.

Carmen Anderson is one proud mom! Her son, Steve, a Solicitor with the TTC, was commended in December for his appearance in a Toronto Star feature called Jamaica T.O., written by columnist Royson James. He was congratulated by Head of Legal/General Counsel Brian Leck, Associate General Counsel Karen McGuire and CEO Andy Byford. Although the Nov. 7 article was about Steve, his mom, Carmen, received special praise in the piece.
