Eastern Canada
Past Perfect
|
By KATIE MORELL
|
| Head over the U.S./Canada border and you are sure to find a wealth of history, evident in venues scattered all over the region. Eastern Canada, in particular, is |
|
wildly popular with attendees keen on the past—from Toronto and Montreal to Halifax and Thunder Bay.
"Canada has shaped the region with diverse cultures that include Celtic, Acadian, Irish, English, German, African and First Nations peoples," says Jonathan Toms, group sales manager for Destination Halifax. "With over 400 years of European settlement and thousands of years of First Nations settlement, the region can't help but showcase its history."
Quebec
As Canada's largest province, consisting of nearly 600,000 square miles, Quebec is also one of the country's most historic areas. Founded by French explorers in the early 1600s, today the region continues to hold strong to its European roots with the majority of the country still speaking French. In addition to its language, metros such as Quebec City and Montreal preserve their unique past with distinctive venues and historic districts.

Ganging Up on Social Media
By JEFF RASCO and CHRISTINA RASCO ADAMS

We decided to get some advice from some colleagues who we know to be active bloggers, posters and/or tweeters, and share what we learned from them. Our panel includes meetings technology mavens Corbin Ball, Rod Marymor and Jim Spellos; meeting and event planners Cindy Lo and Marla Watson-Werst, who are also owners of their own businesses (Red Velvet Events and PeaPod Productions, respectively); and Cheryl Rivas, meeting planner and marketing communications manager for Meeting Sites Resource. We asked about their favorite tools, how they use them for their meetings and in their businesses, what they've learned from their experiences, and what advice they would give someone starting out in social media.
