Constructing valuable and inclusive opportunities for developing industry leaders.

Originally called the Developing Executives (D.E.) Group, CANS Emerging Leaders Group was formed in September 2001 to encourage participation from our younger CANS members. Members of the Emerging Leaders Group are under 40 and work for member companies.

CANS Emerging Leaders Group hosts a number of annual events that offer networking opportunities, including:

  • Curling Bonspiel (Spring)
  • Community Pick-Me-Up (Spring)
  • Meet & Greet on the Harbour (Summer)
  • Golf Tournament (Summer)
  • Networking Night (Fall)
  • Speaker Series (twice throughout Fall/Winter)
