Participants had fun taking selfies at the photo booth.

Some delegates brought their own stylish hats and fascinators to honor our 100th anniversary. Others were able to select from a collection of vintage hats and pose under a ivy covered arch or at a bistro set. Numerous other custom-made props added to the ambiance.

 

Pope Francis was a popular guest. In fact, the first selfie was a hotel employee who sidled up to the pope on Thursday evening shortly after the booth was set up!


Councils were asked to bring a monetary donation for our featured convention charity: IWIN (I'm Worth It Now). IWIN assists human sexual trafficking survivors who are escaping the life and entering a program of emotional, physical and spiritual support. IWIN provides survivors with backpacks which contain brand new personal essentials. IWIN launched in Calgary in 2019 and has since expanded to Edmonton and Saskatoon.
