As design Principal and Owner of Jane Lockhart

Interior Design, Jane's firm continues to design, brand

and renovate spaces for retail, hospitality and

residential clients across the GTA. With a team of

seven designers, planners and managers, Lockhart

oversees a boutique business, which caters to

selective, and high profile clients with an eye for detail

and excellence.

Few people exemplify the qualities of personal

excellence, teamwork, community leadership,

and overcoming the odds better than CFL

legend Michael “Pinball” Clemons. With

boundless energy, Pinball’s talks centre on

the potential for each of us to achieve

anything we set our minds to. Unabashedly

emotional and impactful, he shows audiences

how to put heart into everything they do.

In 2009, he founded the Michael “Pinball”

Clemons Foundation, which is dedicated to

helping disadvantaged youth. He is also

currently working with Marc and Craig

Kielburger, founders of Free the Children, in

an initiative to build schools and clean water

systems in Africa.

Michael “Pinball” Clemons

Jane Lockhart

Current economic conditions are presenting challenges

to most organizations. These factors are beyond the

control of any business, however there are steps that

can be taken to mitigate the negative effects on your

organization. The core of Lou’s presentation is to

motivate you to implement at least one recommendation as

soon as you get back to the office.

Threads of Life helps families of workplace tragedy

along their journey of healing by providing unique family

support programs and services. Each year in Canada,

more than three people are killed on-the-job every

working day. Debbie will be joining us to share her story.

Jeffrey Plant, VP Civil Infrastructure with

Infrastructure Ontario (IO). His presentation

covers IO’s continuous improvement

initiatives with the MTO, Metrolinx and

various Municipalities.

Committee have been busy putting together yet another rad program. We are like psyched about this

year’s Convention...it will be the bomb!

CHILDREN’S INFORMATION

With more people bringing their children to our AGM & Convention, we thought the following information may come in handy for you to book babysitters and activities while you are busy at the events planned throughout the day and evening. The kids are more than welcome to join us for the Concrete Canoe races on Saturday afternoon. A food package* is available for them for breakfast and lunch, however it does not include dinner, as this is for adults only. (* see RMCAO Registration page)

Babysitting - services are available at the Rosseau, however you must make these arrangements in advance. You will need to complete the “Babysitting Release Document” that can be found on our website (sent directly to Rosseau), and you will then receive a list of service providers.

Recreational Activities - you may want to get together with other parents to plan for group activities. If you would like to set up a kids camp, 2-3 hours where you drop them off, you will need to book with Dan Arcand, GM Muskoka Sports & Recreation - 1-888-317-2628 x4; www.muskokarecreation.com

The Rosseau also has in-house activities, however the 2015 Fall brochure will not be available for a couple of months. We have included the 2014 Fall and the 2015 Spring/Summer Activity brochures to give you some ideas.

Highlights for this year’s Companion Program include: Keynote Speaker - JANE LOCKHART will walk us through “Adding Value: 10 Quick Fixes For Home You Can Do Today!” Using great photography, unique pictures and some before and after room makeovers, Jane will show us how just simple changes can add big value to our homes. From painting to accessorizing, see the unique way that Lockhart demonstrates that making these changes are worth the effort. Of course we also have other activities planned throughout the weekend, as well as allowing for some free time to just relax and enjoy the spectacular resort. Sign up for the Fall Cooking Class and learn the unique ways fall vegetables can be used; or work off some of the delicious food and spirits by attending the popular Zumba, or find your inner peace with a Yoga class. Golf, canoe races, awesome teambuilding games...all await you at the RMCAO 56th AGM! Please ensure that you bring the appropriate clothing and footwear for the above activities.
