Awards Gala – Reservations / Sponsorships
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: The safety and health of all remains a top priority for the EIC and we heed the recommendations and restrictions of health agencies. Given that large interior social gatherings are not permitted at this time, and it is still unknown when they will be safely permitted, it has been decided to officially postpone the much-appreciated EIC Gala, hopefully for the last time. We appreciate how frustrating the ongoing pandemic is and everyone’s desire to properly celebrate the highly deserving award winners.
At this stage, we are planning to hold the next gala in two installments in April 2023. One event will celebrate the 2020 and 2021 cohorts of award winners, the second event will celebrate the 2022 and 2023 award winners. These two events will be held during the same weekend (Friday and Saturday nights), while EIC Council will be meeting during the day Saturday.
The EIC Awards Galas will be held in 2023 at the HILTON LAC-LEAMY Hotel, located at 3 Casino Boulevard, Gatineau-Ottawa, QC. Each gala will be a formal ceremony, including a cocktail reception (@ 5:30 PM) followed by a sit-down 4-course dinner/banquet (@ 7:00 PM) during which the awards will be presented in person.
Seat Reservations/Sponsorships (** Sales/registration will re-open in January 2023 **):
Gala seats and sponsorships may be purchased by credit card or via a PayPal account. When the payment facility re-opens (a PAYPAL button will appear below), please select one of items and click Add to Cart to proceed to the secured online payment portal. After confirming the desired quantity of each item, click “check out” (if paying by credit card) or “PayPal check-out”. Alternately, you will be able to purchase/reserve seats by mailing a cheque made out to the “Engineering Institute of Canada FUND” to EIC’s office (see address at bottom of this page).
