2011 Annual Convention in Victoria

Empress Hotel in Victoria

We invite you to join us April 1-2, 2011 for our 18th Annual Auction Fundraiser at the historic Fairmont Empress Hotel in scenic Victoria, British Columbia.  You will love your time in Victoria.   Our province’s capital city has historic sites, wonderful shops, tree-lined avenues and an intriguing waterfront for you to explore. We have altered the schedule for 2011 and we hope you enjoy the changes.

Join us Friday evening to recognize hunters who have made exceptional achievements or harvested world-class big game animals with our Mountain Hunter™ Record Book Achievement Awards Banquet.  The evening will also recognize leaders within the guide outfitting industry in Canada’s northwest with the presentation of the President’s Award, Lady of the Year Award, Outfitter of the Year Award, Leland Award and Frank Stewart Memorial Award.  This is a great opportunity to socialize with other hunters and meet outfitters.  The rest of the evening will be spent with well-known musician Lee Dinwoodie, whose country music will quickly get you out on the dance floor.

 Saturday morning enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast before heading off for a day of fun or relaxation.   You can join members and staff for the paintball challenge, which is new this year or ladies, if you are looking for something a little more luxurious, perhaps a pedicure or spa treatment is in order at the Willow Stream Spa at the Empress Hotel http://www.fairmont.com/empress/GuestServices/SPA/.

On Saturday evening we will hold our Auction Fundraiser.  This exciting evening event will begin with a sumptuous dinner and promises something for everyone.  It is the perfect place to find your dream hunt, some unique art, or beautiful pieces of handmade furniture and jewellery.  We will not only have selection of great hunts, but many of the donors will be present to answer your questions.

We look forward to enjoying this weekend with you!
