Invitation

Mensa Calgary invites you to attend the 2011 Canadian Annual Gathering (AG) in Banff, Alberta, Canada on the Victoria Day weekend May 20-23, 2011 at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. The hotel features magnificent views, world-class dining, great shopping and a luxurious spa. Set in picturesque Banff National Park, visitors from the world over come to enjoy its stunning vistas and breathtaking mountain scenery year-round. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to stay in a luxury 5-star hotel, Canada’s “Castle in the Rockies”, and mingle with fellow Mensans as you enjoy the many indoor and outdoor programs showcased at the AG.


We’ve negotiated an exceptional room rate ($199 per night + taxes) for AG participants.
And, if you extend your stay between May 15 and May 27, 2011, this great rate will be honoured. There’s so much to see and do — take a Gondola ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain, hike Johnston Canyon trail to the Ink Pots, enjoy a scenic drive to Lake Louise or Jasper, or join a guided walk on the Columbia Icefields — whatever you choose, we think you’ll be glad you decided to stay a little longer.

 


 

Majesty in the Mountains

The 2011 Canadian Annual Gathering borrows its royal theme from the majesty of its setting in the spectacular Canadian Rockies; its venue in a splendid castle setting; and its timing over the Victoria Day weekend, which celebrates the birthday of a British monarch. It’s entirely likely that you’ll feel like royalty when you call “Canada’s Castle in the Rockies” home for the duration of our AG. Join us and experience  the majesty in our mountains.
