Frontenac Business Retreat & Awards - Pre-event email

Good morning,

We are counting down the days until the Frontenac Business Retreat & Awards on Tuesday, November 14.

The agenda is filled with various topics, opportunities to connect with each other and to celebrate our business community with the awards.

The campfire chats will take place indoors, with an opportunity to network outdoors around a campfire (with smores) during the networking breaks.

Some friendly reminders:

  • RKY Camp, 1194 Sugar Bush Lane, Parham, ON K0H 2K0. – Watch for the signs!
  • Bring your refillable water bottle.
  • Don’t forget warm clothes so you can enjoy the outdoor fire and make smores!
  • Remember appropriate footwear…the ground is uneven.
  • Parking is limited, please carpool if possible. RKY Camp staff will be directing parking.
  • Please follow the signs to the designated smoking area.
  • Bring your business marketing materials to share with others.
