Wondering what to wear to dinner at CANS 160^th AGM?

On Friday evening we’ll be celebrating the industry at our dinner and awards ceremony, followed by entertainment from comedian, Patrick Ledwell. Guests are encouraged to dress up as much or as little as they feel comfortable, but for those who prefer a little guidance, we recommend business casual.

Saturday evening is the time to show your true colours as we dive into our nautical theme, “a rising tide lifts all boats.” While we’ll be sticking to shore for the festivities, attendees are encouraged — but not required — to use the ocean, boats and all things nautical as their inspiration when getting ready! Show us how you can make a sou’wester “fashion” as we dance the night away to The Wannabeez.

So, put your best peg-leg forward, if we like the cut of your jib, you might win one of our best-dressed awards!

• Best Dressed Individual
• Honourable Mention, Individual
• Best Dressed Couple
• Best Dressed Company

Local Activity Program

Not interested in golfing Dundarave? Not to worry, CANS Events has curated TWO Local Activity Programs for our AGM attendees! On Saturday morning, experience eastern PEI in the manner that suits you best, walking or paddling! Following their respective activities, all Local Activity Program attendees will reconvene and cap off their morning with a satisfying lunch.

Note: Participants are responsible for their own transportation. Please contact CANS directly if you require assistance.

Option One: Paddle Three Rivers by Kayak

This tour is a great way to take in some cultural history along with an energizing paddle. This relaxed, sheltered trip takes you out past Brudenell Island towards Brudenell Point and the village of Georgetown, where the Brudenell, Montague and Cardigan Rivers meet. Double and single kayaks are available. Duration: 2.5 hours

*Some restrictions apply. Maximum weight of 300lb. Minimum age requirement of 13 years old (accompanied by a guardian). Please contact CANS if you have an adolescent interested in attending this program.

Option Two: Art Class + Walking Tour

This tour invites you to slow down and delight in the vibrant arts and culture of eastern PEI. Your morning will start at the Kings Playhouse for an ‘Intuitive Floral Painting’ class with artist Patrick Guindon. In addition to painting techniques, this workshop will focus on finding your creative voice and ignoring your inner critic. Following this class, attendees will enjoy the chance to discover traces of PEI’s history on a guided stroll around picturesque Georgetown. Duration: 3 hours
