Networking Events

CEEA networking events throughout the year provide our members and their partners with various opportunities to connect, celebrate and meet face to face.

Our annual Governors Charity Ball was held in Calgary on March 18 at the Hyatt Regency, and was an outstanding success. Together with our guests, we enjoyed a Mardi Gras celebration and were treated to the sights, sounds and tastes of New Orleans.

Through our silent auction and live Fund-A-Need program, we were able to raise $61,000 for HEROS (Hockey Education Reaching Out Society) and $250,000 for our new CEEA Education Fund. Many thanks to our auction donors and guests whose generous contributions will have a significant impact on youth in Canada.
