Finally Canada Day


Tomorrow, Friday June the 30th, the first delagates should start arriving for Canada Day. Guys, I hope you bring sleeping bags because many of you will just have to sleep on the floor (we will clean it before of course). That is if you want to sleep :) You can also stay up and party all the weekend...but it will be tough to get back to routine next Monday.

Here the info about the event:

Accommodation** is available for roughly the first 50 people to RSVP, and
should go to Danielle at danielleaiesec (at) gmail.com. The cost is $20 which
mainly covers the activities on Saturday (as described below).

PLEASE RSVP BY THIS TUESDAY June 27. We apologize for the short notice,
we've been trying to get a spam out for ages but have been experiencing
technical difficulties doing so. We really look forward to seeing you all
here!

Great blog idea. I've posted the info on the AIESEC Calgary blog, so hopefully some of the trainees join up.

It was amazing also for us... a special thank to Danielle, Kamala and all the OC of OttawaU. They did not sleep a lot during the whole weekend, they were always friendly and smiling and they did an amazing job! Looking forward to next year's Canada Day! :)
