'Tis the Season to be elegant! The colleagues of Cadesky and Associates celebrated the holidays with a fun evening at the elegant McLean House, Estates of Sunnybrook this past weekend. After a scrumptious dinner this delightful group moved on to the entertainment portion of the evening. Events by Parris provided the entertainment for the evening.
A characturist to capture a snapshot for each guest to take home with him/her--she drew everything from a couple on their deck in Muskoka to a gentleman who loves his football.
Those that weren't having their picture "taken" were trying their luck out at the casino tables. With 4 prizes and 1 Grand Prize to be handed out, the stakes were high and these players didn't quit until the whistle was blown. Some came with their lucky ties, others with just the luck on their back--and 5 people went home with some great surprises.
For those who luck ran out early on the casino tables the dance floor beckoned. With a request for reggae this group never took a break from the dance floor....even our Events by Parris planner was out there being taught some moves!
All in all a wonderful night was had by a wonderful group in a wonderful setting...what a happy winter wonderland!

Teva Canada - Nov 17 2010
It was a chilly day in November when the dedicated fun seekers of TEVA climbed aboard the luxury coaches on their way to Niagara on the Lake. Waiting for them in N-O-T-L was a day filled with fun and food. First stop: a customized Scavenger Hunt that took them around beautiful, historic downtown N-O-T-L. All the strategic planning and plotting built up an appetite and the next stop was a traditional Irish Pub for a customized lunch and a chance to warm up!Prizes were distributed to the Scavenger Hunt winners and after some more warm coffee and dessert the group hopped back on their coach and headed home.
A great way to spend a work day!
Hello Katherine,
We had great feedback on the event yesterday! Thank you to you and your team!Thank you!

Thomson Rogers
Santa Claus came to town this past Friday and brought along some helpers! The spirited colleagues of Thomson Rogers Lawyers celebrated the holidays, their 75th, in style. The 2nd floor of the Toronto Hilton was transformed into Santa's playground. A row of hanging Thomson Rogers stockings hung with care and distributed to each guest welcomed you in to the party. After receiving his/her gift each guest would pose with the Santa--with the question of the day being: who was it behind that white beard? Did you ever figure it out Thomson Rogers-ites??
After the Santa pose guests were invited to sample hors d'oeuvres and to have a signature Thomson Rogers martini--it's the candy cane in the glass that gave it the extra kick! While enjoying their nibbles the guests were amazed by our professional mind reader. He wandered through the crowd providing slight of hand and inexplicable feats of mind reading. His bag of tricks wrapped in mystery caused more than one guest to exclaim 'how did you do that?!" Let's just chalk it up to the magic of the season!
While mingling with colleagues guests were invited to have their handwriting analyzed by our professional handwriting analysis person. A chance to find out what those loops and dots in your writing really mean.
Having found that out the guests moved on to the characaturist who provided a great keepsake for the day. Asking each guest for a hobby or their profession, our professional artist would create a unique portrait that can be hung in your home or office.
Once analyzed and captured in art the guests tried their hand at one of our casino tables. Whether it was roulette, black jack or poker this great group had a fun time spending their funny money for the chance at the grand prize. Who was the big winner? You'll have to ask Santa.

Lucky Roll of the Dice!
A room full of Elvis's, showgirls and other Vegas partiers had colleagues of the Toronto General Hospital-Emergency Medicine laughing and dancing till the wee hours of the morning. The casino tables, ranging from those for poker aces to those for blackjack newbies, were a big hit with this fun crew. A delicious dinner, followed by gaming and dancing got these hard working colleagues in the mood for the holidays.
Beautiful decor helped set the mood. The crystal, illuminated, feathered centerpieces made the room feel like the Bellagio. While the red accented tablecloths and decor pieces gave the room just a touch of Vegas's signature themes: fire and excitement!
After all the chips were counted 5 lucky folks walked away with casino raffle prizes that night, but all those who attended walked away from this good time feeling lucky.

PLANNING A GREAT CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING EVENT
Should your company include team building events in your corporate strategy? Absolutely! Great teamwork produces great results. Empower your group(s) with team building events that will:
- Foster respect
- Enhance unity
- Develop strengths
- Address weaknesses
- Open the lines of communication
- Educate
- Motivate
- Inspire

Events by Parris’ team building events are creative, engaging, and interactive. Each event is a memorable experience, created to meet your company’s individual goals and objectives - leadership, cooperation, team work, and productivity - within your budget. We can plan and execute your corporate team building events locally or out of town. The great advantage of hosting a team building event away from the office is the elimination of distractions. In addition, an out of town event is viewed as a perk and not as work. Everyone arrives relaxed and enthusiastic about participating.

- Transportation
- Overnight accommodation
- Food and beverage
- Team building exercises
