ABOUT MEMBER MIXERS:

Recognizing that our membership is located throughout Nova Scotia and beyond, the CANS Member Mixer program takes us from one end of the province to the other. We host casual receptions ensuring our members have the opportunity to engage with each other face to face, continue to maintain existing relationships and also make new business connections. This program was launched in 2018 and had excellent feedback from attendees. We hope that you can join us!
