On February 21st, we celebrated the 90th birthday of one of BA Group's founding principals, Edward Levy. It was a heartwarming occasion as the entire BA Group office came together to celebrate this special milestone, enjoying cake and sharing happy moments together. The celebration was made even more memorable with the presence of distinguished guests. We were honored to host many transportation industry veterans from across the GTA who worked and collaborated with Ed during his career. Thank you to Steve Wickens, Andy Manahan, Marty Collier, Marcy Burchfield, David Crowley, Robert Millward, and Paul Bedford for joining us. Ed was also surprised by Pat Gibson who flew in from Los Angeles for the event. Pat worked closely with Ed in Chicago for Barton Aschman Associates prior to Ed moving to Toronto in 1974 to open the Canadian office which later became BA Group!
In recognition of Ed’s extraordinary legacy and invaluable contributions to BA Group, BA Group’s CEO Mark Jamieson announced that the main boardroom in BA Group’s new Toronto office at 95 St. Clair Avenue West would be proudly named the "Edward J. Levy Boardroom.”
Happy Birthday Ed!
