SE03 - Midnight Sun Golf Tournament & BBQ (SE04 - BBQ Only)

Golf is an excellent way to get in some exercise while enjoying time with friends and colleagues during the GAC/MAC 2007. After a grueling day of technical presentations, you can take in the local atmosphere by spending an evening of golf and BBQ.

The Yellowknife Golf Club offers eighteen unique and challenging holes (Par 72) laid out on sand fairways through rocks and pines and sand. Local hazards include occasional grass, water, bears (haven't lost a golfer yet) and ravens. The club features a pro shop, club, cart and mat rentals, driving range and a welcoming clubhouse with food and bar service.

SE06 - Diamond Daze Social

An event for all delegates and guests. An excellent way to unwind and celebrate the first ever GAC/MAC conference north of 60°. We are planning a very special evening for friends to relax and enjoy refreshments and buffet appetizers. Diamond Daze is held at the Top Knight (top floor of the Black Knight Pub), 4910 - 49th Street in Yellowknife. We look forward to seeing you there!

SE05 - Student Bowl-A-Rama

Bowling, pizza and refreshments - what more could a student ask for? Free mod shoes for the night. An awesome chance to socialize with your peers. Bowl-A-Rama is held at the Kingpin Bowling Centre, 5125 52nd Avenue in Yellowknife. More information to come.
