Toronto-based North American entertainment technologies reseller, A.C. Lighting Inc., has been honored by the Canadian Institute for Theatre Technology with its 2015 CITT Supplier (Corporate) Achievement Award.

Each year the organization recognizes individuals and companies that excel in their field of live performance in Canada.

The CITT Supplier (Corporate) Achievement Award -- which is voted for by its members -- recognizes the sustained commitment and contribution a supplier has made to the Canadian cultural industries community with its quality services, as well as the support it has shown to the organization over the years.

A.C. Lighting Inc.'s Chief Operating Officer, Penny Watier, received the award on the behalf of the company at the CITT 2015 Awards banquet, which followed the organization's Rendez-Vous 2015 annual conference and trade show -- this year held at the Vancouver Convention Center in British Columbia from August 20 - 22.

Michael Harris, CITT president, commented: "Over the years, A.C. Lighting Inc. has been an avid supporter of CITT. It has always been part of the CITT's annual trade show, has sponsored CITT events numerous times, as well as provided professional development opportunities to CITT members with its seminars on LEDs -- presented by its managing director, JF Canuel. The appointment of industry veteran, Penny Watier as Chief Operating Officer in 2013 has further contributed towards strengthening the company's relationship with CITT / ICTS. It is always a pleasure to collaborate with A.C. Lighting."

"The A.C. Lighting team in Toronto truly cares about our organization, its members, and the industry, which is why we wish to honor and celebrate them, and why we feel that they are deserving of the CITT Supplier (Corporate) Achievement Award for 2015. We thank you."
