Event Description:
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! The Ottawa Valley Chapter’s Young Engineers in ASHRAE (YEA), Membership Promotion (MP), and Student Activities (SA) Committees are pleased to invite all ASHRAE Members - including YEA Members and Student Members - as well as their non-member guests, prospective members, and friends to go back to the Ottawa River for another evening of great company and sightseeing!
Following the success of our previous boat cruises, we’re returning to the Ottawa River for a scenic 60-75 minute narrated cruise showcasing some of the capital’s most spectacular views. Departing from 1 Canal Lane, the cruise will offer a front-row seat to the majestic Rideau Falls, Parliament Hill, and other historic landmarks, accompanied by live bilingual commentary throughout the evening.
Registration is available at a discounted group rate of $45 CAD per person, with a Student Member rate of $35 CAD per person (Regularly $51 per person). The vessel features spacious decks and an onboard cash bar, making it the perfect setting to relax, take in the views, and mingle with fellow ASHRAE members and guests.
Don’t miss this opportunity to kick off the ASHRAE year by returning to one of our favourite social traditions! Come out, reconnect with your fellow members, meet new faces, and enjoy an evening on the Ottawa River.
Please note that the cruise will proceed rain or shine, barring extreme weather conditions. We look forward to seeing you on the water!
