Amateurs and professionals alike are constantly amazed by the golf course’s panoramic challenge. From the actual golf hole design to the optical illusions created by the surrounding mountains, this golf course will delight and tempt you. Originally designed in 1928 by Canada's master golf course architect, Stanley Thompson, the course winds along the Bow River and under the snow-capped peaks of Sulphur Mountain and Mount Rundle. In 1989, 9 holes were added to the original 18 holes, resulting in 27 holes of championship layout. We have a shotgun start at 2 PM in the afternoon – so please turn up at the course one half hour before to check in and use the driving range and practice facility prior to your round. Our Welcome Reception and dinner at the Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course Club House will start a little after 7:00 PM, with the prize presentation to follow. All fully registered delegates and companions are welcome to play — this is a Texas Scramble Tournament so all levels of golfers are invited to join in the fun! This is a great opportunity to create and renew new business relationships over an amazing day of golf and outstanding scenery. Our golf tournament fills up quickly — please remember to book early! If you are not interested in golfing, you won’t want to miss the follow up Reception and Dinner at the Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course Clubhouse. There will be a complimentary shuttle from the Hotel to the Club House for the dinner. Thursday evening will be a relaxed and informal chance to catch up with old friends and connect with new contacts outside of the office setting. * WILLOW STREAM SPA Take a day to Find Your Energy in the world renowned Willow Stream Spa!

CBSC Report • 8:50 – 9:00 am Andrée Nöel, National Chair, CBSC CRTC Report • 9:00 – 9:30 am Candice Molnar, Commissioner, Broadcasting, CRTC The Science of Personality • 9:30 – 11:00 am Dr. Brian Little, Cambridge University Staying Ahead of the Curve means staying ahead of what your team needs to do their work. Dr. Brian Little is an internationally acclaimed scholar and speaker in the field of personality and motivational psychology. His pioneering research on how everyday personal projects and ‘free traits’ influence the course of our lives has become an important way of explaining and enhancing human flourishing. Dividing his time between Canada and the UK, Brian is also a Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus at Carleton University in Ottawa and he lectures world-wide on personality, motivation and well-being. Highly successful corporations and professionals understand the profound effect that personality has on performance, and they use this knowledge to their advantage. In his presentations – which are both deeply informative and outrageously funny – Dr. Little helps his audiences learn how to make effective use of these personality differences. “A cross between Robin Williams and Einstein” is how one client described him.

subject brought to you in an easy to understand format with insights you can employ on the ground.
Passion – Energy – Teamwork • 1:15 – 2:30 pm
Michael “Pinball” Clemons
Renowned as one of pro football's most electrifying players, Clemons compiled a brilliant career,
including a pro-football record for most career combined yards with 25,438. He retired with 12 all
time team records to his credit and became Head Coach for the Toronto Argonauts. In this capacity
he became the 1st and only black Head Coach to win the Grey Cup (Canada's Super Bowl) in 96 years. In 2008 he was inducted into the Canadian Football
Hall of Fame with his friend and former teammate Doug Flutie. Michael “Pinball” Clemons is an icon of sporting excellence, community leadership, personal
character and integrity. He's an author, philanthropist, entrepreneur and currently the vice-chair of the Toronto Argonauts. A dynamic on-stage personality
with quiet dignity, but also boundless energy, he engages audience members and delivers an unforgettable, often emotional speech that touches on the
potential in all of us to achieve anything to which we set our minds. Bottle some of that energy up to take back to the office with Pinball at WAB!
