Now that the Canadian border has re-opened and travel is beginning to resume, we’re thrilled to announce the third annual Ivey Whistler Weekend from March 3 to 6, 2022. This will be a great opportunity to reconnect with a diverse group of alumni on the slopes, during après ski or doing any of the many other activities available in this incredibly picturesque environment. The Whistler trip has been extremely popular in prior years, and we expect 2022 to be the best year yet!
Please RSVP, using the button below and include any additional guests you would like to join (family, friends, etc.). A follow-up email will be circulated in February to everyone who RSVPs. This will provide additional details including the list of attendees and our WhatsApp group chat for those interested in connecting with other attendees before, during or after the weekend.
It’s going to be a memorable weekend, and we can’t wait to see everyone again soon! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We’re also looking for alumni volunteers to assist with planning and for corporate sponsors. If you’d like to help out, or your organization would like to sponsor the weekend or one if the social events, please contact one of the alumni listed below.
