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, two networking and social highlights of the 2015 AGM & Convention will be the Friday evening Welcome Reception and the Saturday evening Annual Banquet.
2015 Welcome Reception
The Welcome Reception will be held from 5:30-7:30 pm Friday evening in the historic Native Sons Hall, the largest free span log building in Canada.
