Networking & Social Activities
Providing delegates with the opportunity to connect with colleagues and develop new relationships are key program objectives. In addition to breakfasts both Saturday and Sunday morning, morning and afternoon refreshment breaks and Saturday’s Delegates Lunch with access to the Mini Marketplace both Friday and Saturday, two networking and social highlights of the 2012 AGM & Convention will be the Friday evening Welcome Reception and the Saturday evening Annual Banquet.
Welcome Reception
The Welcome Reception will be held from 5:30-7:30 pm Friday evening at the Black Rock Oceanfront Resort which is known for its phenomenal culinary and aesthetic experiences. The foyer, atrium and Float Lounge will allow delegates to not only enjoy amazing food but an incredible venue that showcases the rugged shoreline of Ucluelet. Local musicians, artists and artisans will round out the overall experience.
Annual Banquet
Locally renowned Chef Richard Norwood will be heading up the culinary team preparing for Saturday night’s banquet. The evening begins with a pre-banquet reception with dinner and entertainment to follow. The banquet will be in Ucluelet’s main hall at the new Ucluelet Community Centre which features beautiful post and beam woodwork, high ceilings and amazing glimpses into the west coast scenery. The menu plan includes cedar plank local salmon, west coast style free-run chicken and carved prime rib of beef. Preliminary plans for the evening’s entertainment include a local First Nations dancing group, Japanese drummers and will conclude with the jazzy, folksy sounds of local artists Left of the Junction.
