Perfect fall weather helped make yesterday's
Loyalist PR trip to Toronto an unforgettable day.
After an early start (6:30 a.m. - ouch!), we headed first to
Steam Whistle Brewing where
Communications Director Sybil Taylor led us through a fantastic branding presentation. Students also had a chance to tour the brewery, adding to the fun of the experience.
After a great patio lunch (minus the wasps), we met up with
Jeremy Cammy, Executive Producer, Events & Marketing and members of his team at
Indigo headquarters on King Street West (see photo above). Following an interactive and informative presentation, we were all delighted to dive into our swag bags (books for everyone!) -- thanks, Indigo!
Our next stop was
CBC Studios, home of
George Strombolopolous Tonight. With special guests Ron
MacLean of Hockey Night in Canada, celebrated authoress Margaret Atwood and New York Times
columnist and author Thomas Friedman in the house, students and faculty enjoyed a great taping, complete with plenty of humour thrown in by audience relations guy, Fraser.
Big thanks to George who once again took out time from his schedule to chat with us and make us feel at home on his home turf.
On what little
adrenaline we had left, we powered home, spurred on by
Top Gun and the likes.
Great trip, everyone - hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
Have a great Thanksgiving weekend!

What a day! In a mere five hours, Loyalist PR students raised an impressive $18,611 in support of the United Way of Quinte with their Campus Truckload sale.
Big thanks to all the Loyalist PR students who showed up EARLY at the college to help out with the United Way Kick-Off Pancake Breakfast this week.
Your community spirit truly helped inspire others and your enthusiasm made the event a great success.
Way to go, everyone!
