Banquet Dinner

Dress code: Wear what you are most comfortable wearing to have the best time ever.

If you hate ties, fine. If you love sparkles and heals - great, bring it! Pyjamas.....maybe not.

BUT...

With it being game night and Alberta's own making to the Stanley Cup finals, we encourage you to dress in Oilers colours or wear your favourite hockey jersey.

We will live stream the game during the reception and the dinner, as appropriate. We are modifying the program to align with intermissions as best we can.
