Event Story

Owners & franchisees of hotels in Canada were invited to gather in Ontario to reconnect and share business strategies that would position their hotels to Thrive in the face of change.

The retreat was designed with an integrated approach, planning time for business discussions and relaxed social gatherings against the beautiful backdrop of Lake Ontario. Between meetings, attendees were invited to explore the local area and choose from a selection of experiences customized just for them - golf at one of Canada’s best courses, Glenn Abbey, enjoy a cider tasting & BBQ at West Avenue Cider House, or spend an afternoon salmon fishing on Lake Ontario.

The evening dinner menus were a true feast for the senses and celebrated the fresh, organic produce coming straight from a 100-acre organic farm - Earth to Table: The Farm. On the first night, guests enjoyed a rustic dinner on the natural, inviting farmland. On the second night, they savored an upscale take on the farm’s organic cuisine at Isabelle, The Pearle Hotel’s fine dining restaurant.  

Over the course of a few days, attendees heard from company leaders and worked from a forward-looking plan that inspired resilience and agility. They returned home ready to Thrive.
