As we do every year when the holiday season approaches, we ask members of the Scout Community to fill us in on what they offer in terms of private rooms, buy-outs and so on for their special events and staff parties.
For the sake of efficient browsing, we’ve carefully mapped the listings and arranged the venues alphabetically. We’ve also simplified their details to include just their seating capacity, location, contact info and links so you can click out and really dig in for yourselves. Bookmark this list, as it will most definitely grow as the holiday season nears. Are we missing something good? Please reach out to Thalia Stopa via membership scoutmagazine.ca.
