At the request of many AIA members who were trying to fit multiple activities into a few days during the AXIS/Grey Cup Weekend, the High Fives for Kids Foundation Dinner had been modified to a Reception and Silent Auction.
The Association is very pleased to be able to accommodate this request as it will allow a number of members to now attend and support the High Fives for Kids Foundation while being able to maintain their busy schedules.
The event will now consist of a two hour reception from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm with an open bar and hors d’ouevres. The list of fabulous items available at the silent auction continues to grow, so make sure to join us for some early holiday shopping, a fantastic networking opportunity and a chance to support this worthy cause – The HIGH FIVES FOR KIDS FOUNDATION.
The association will also take this opportunity to have several ASP organizations join us to present petitions on the Right to Repair to Honourable guests from the Government of Canada.
