Sometimes we interns like to get ambitious with our after-work plans. On Tuesday November 23rd, that involved a marathon of three back-to-back receptions. I left Ms. Cansfield’s office around 5 and made my way over to the legislature, where I met up with my fellow interns and went over to the first reception of the [...]

Attending the Churchill Society Annual Dinner

All of the interns attended the Churchill Society Dinner held at the Four Seasons on November 16 2010. Earlier that day, I met up with my fellow interns to get ready and head over to the hotel where we helped the Churchill Society members prepare for the silent auction. The buzz in the room made [...]

This past week was a whirlwind of after-work events for the interns, including the Churchill Society Dinner, the OLIP Reception and a panel discussion on the place of Ontario in the Canadian Federation hosted by the Mowat Centre for Policy Innovation. As the chair of the receptions committee, this made for an especially busy week, [...]
Ontario Home Builders Association reception

I really enjoyed the Ontario Home Builders Association reception held on November 2nd in the dining room of the Legislative building. As a graduate of Urban Planning, I was already familiar with this organization and its work in the GTA. It was really interesting to meet representatives from different geographic regions and get their perspectives [...]
The Chamber and the Attic

On Wednesday we were able to attend question period for the first time. It was pretty much all it was billed up to be: partisan, loud and entertaining. There are definitely some world-class hecklers in the Ontario legislature. In the afternoon we were given a fantastic tour of Queen’s Park by Arleigh Holder, the Director [...]
Queen’s Park Press Gallery 2009 Christmas Party and Auction

This festive reception is an annual party and auction fundraiser that, this year, supported the United Way. Held in three separate rooms, the hallways and all rooms were bustling with activity. The tables in the room were filled with auction items. Some of the more notable auction items included a gift basket full of wine [...]

On December the 1st, the interns were delighted to attend a reception hosted by one of our sponsors- the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF). After having visited their headquarters in the North-East end of Toronto a few months back, the interns were eager to say hello to familiar faces. Craig Brockwell, who was our [...]
OLIP Magazine finally in print!

After agonizing over everything from the cover shot to the cover stock, I’m proud to announce that the fall 2009 edition of the Queen’s Park Insider, the official OLIP magazine, is now complete! After making its debut at the OLIP reception on November 25, we have received nothing but praise for this extraordinary publication. Creating [...]
Reception Night

FINALLY ARRIVED. Perhaps that’s a little dramatic. But after a solid three months of preparations and having that faint and somewhat disconcerting feeling of running around like a chicken with its head cut off, I’m very happy to report the reception was a hit. The turn out was great, the food was exceptional, and everyone [...]
Reception Planning…

Okay, moment of truth: when I was first informed that I would be Chair of Receptions committee in September, the only thought running through my head was ‘I’ve only had two people over for dinner; it was a pot luck and we sat on the floor’. I ventured a guess that a Queen’s Park reception [...]
