Oh Canada!

Sure you can find verdantly rugged Atlantic coastline elsewhere in North America, but not with such a strong Celtic cultural accent.

The Rockies run from north to south through much of the continent, but Alberta's Rockies combine beauty and wilderness adventure with stylish amenities. And Vancouver, B.C., arguably is the epitome of the Great Northwest's vibrant beauty and culture.

There are many places where you can take your meeting or event, but if you want to combine effective facilities with cost-effective arrangements and the simple pleasures of superlative scenery and cultural identity, consider Canadian venues.

Canadian academic venues offer the same kind of value and selection as their cousins to the south. Their settings, however, make them truly unique. Mount Saint Vincent University, for example, offers an economic alternative in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where Celtic-flavored culture, historic sites and festivals abound.
