Stretch your budget in Canada

It’s a fact. Event dollars go further in Canada. With the Canadian dollar hovering between 25 and 30% below the U.S. dollar, planners are encouraged to enhance their meeting experience here.

I can’t begin to explain just how pleased everyone was with the entire event. This was the perfect venue for a group of our size. Management has been raving about the experience since they returned!! Thank you so much for your help in organizing this for us! I have a feeling we’ll be back next year! Thank you again!

Our program went very well again this year. Your team was very attentive and accommodating - especially when we swapped the golf day with the skeet shooting day. They magically made that happen very easily. And Guest Services once again took great care of all of us - both me and my staff, and our attendees. Overall everyone was very happy. Thank you for all your pre-planning work to ensure a smooth program.

Lucky me to have spent a whirlwind, educational, and fun weekend at Fox Harb’r. This place really surprised me. It was so much more relaxed and informal than I anticipated. And the staff were SUPER. I mean, absolutely super. Also, even though I did have some of my own work to do, I had a lovely desk and a view that made me feel less grumpy about it. I highly recommend giving them a call if you’re planning a meeting or corporate retreat. You may be surprised at what they can do! They are so open to customizing the experience for each group.
