Sorry for being silent and reaching out this late – it has been one and a half years since Steve Tso’s passing. His death has been a profound loss, and we do this with heavy hearts.
Steve fought pancreatic cancer courageously for over two years with his usual good spirits, buoyed by his many friends – like you – his family, and his faith. He passed peacefully on March 22, 2023, surrounded by his loving family and friends.
In honoring Steve's life and highlighting his commitment to helping sick children and their families, his family would appreciate memorial gifts to be made to the Ronald McDonald House. Donating to this cause would not only honor his memory, but also provide much-needed support to the children and families who are receiving specialized care and services. Your charitable gift can help to ensure that his legacy of compassion for others lives on, and that sick children have access to the best possible care and resources. We extend our deepest condolences to Steve's family and loved ones.
We thank you for considering a donation in his memory. Donations can be made using this link: https://rmhbc-in-memory.raisely.com/tsokinglokstephen.

Canada’s new Cyber Security Program for SMOs: An inside look at the development of Canada’s National Cyber Security Standard
18-August | Written by Matthew MacNeil
Hackers don’t care if you’re a Fortune 500 company or if you’re a mom and pop retail business. The notion of “we’re too small to get hit” is naive and dangerous in today’s age of automated cyber attacks. The CIO Strategy Council is working with the Canadian Federal Government to put forth a set of standards specifically catered for small and medium sized businesses. In this article, Matt MacNeil (Director, Standards and Technology, CIO Strategy Council) shares background on this relationship and provides a preview of what the standards may look like. – Steve Tso
