The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Toronto

It’s Dolena from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events with another corporate event update. 

Today we are in downtown Toronto with a national legal insurance company who was super excited to participate in The Apprentice. This group of 20 was one of the most creative groups I have ever had the pleasure to work with yet. Most of the group was from the Toronto office while others came from Vancouver and Montreal. The goal of this event was to have the participants challenged in a unique way that required them to work with colleagues they don’t always work directly with in a more creative environment. I would say mission accomplished as these groups presented some of the most creative pitches I have ever seen. They managed their time perfectly and really brought out their A-game. The presentations focused on imagination, there were theatrical and super funny. Another key factor about this event that this group really cherished was the giving back aspect. All of these bikes were donated to an active local children’s organization. We even had a representative come and speak about their programs so the group have thorough understanding of where these bikes were going. Overall, this event was a huge hit and we look forward to working with this company again.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Toronto

Hello everyone, it’s Dolena here with another corporate event update.

Today we are in beautiful, green area of the Dawn Valley in Toronto with a local financing company. This large group of 400 people chose to participate in the Apprentice event at the unique and gorgeous outdoor venue of evergreen Brickworks. From start to finish, this large group had a high and super positive energy. Approximately 40 teams worked together to build a children’s bicycle, decorate it and present a 2 minute, innovative marketing pitch. There was a huge variety of themed bikes from an E.T. bike to a clown car, princess bikes, and even fire safety bikes. The teams were made up of participants from all different departments in the company, so this allowed the group to interact with colleagues they don’t normally have a chance to at the office. What made this group truly finish on a high note was finding out that these bikes were being donated to 2 local charities who actually came in and spoke to the group. A little girl even picked out her favourite bike to take home. The Apprentice is a great way for this company to give back to the community.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Toronto

It’s Dolena with another Corporate event update.

We’re in Toronto, downtown, with 20 participants from a local consulting company. Everyone had a fun time participating in the Apprentice. Teams worked together to build and decorate children’s bikes. There was plenty of creativity to go around with this group, especially with the marketing pitches at the end. We had a group create a Mad Men style pitch which was just hilarious. We had a Buzz Lightyear bike, Breast Cancer fund raising bike, and a few more that were one of a kind. The special aspect about this event is that we had a local charity come in and accept the bikes to give to deserving children. Everyone really loved the fact that these bikes were being donated to children who wouldn’t normally get the chance to have such a cool toy for the summer. This group had high energy and really got along and got the opportunity to get to know each other better. The positive and giving vibes really made this event successful.

Fun and Lovely Corporate Team Building Activity - The Apprentice Event in Toronto

Marybeth here from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events with another corporate event update.

Last week we ran 2 back to back events for this communications client. I had the privilege to run and be a part of their second day event – The Apprentice. This group of managers came from across the country and had a lot of enthusiasm and great humor. While building bikes, decorating them and creating their marketing pitch, teams love negotiating with other teams, the staff of the Apprentice store for materials as well as being sneaky and playfully stealing from one another. The icing for the cake of this event was the team’s marketing presentation, which were filled with creative skits, good humor and overall entertaining time with loads of laughs. The event concluded with much deserving charity, Native Child and Family Services of Toronto, saying a few words and accepting the bikes on behalf of the benefiting children.

Philanthropic Corporate Team Building Activity At Its Finest in Toronto

Marybeth here from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events with another corporate event update.

Last week we ran our Apprentice event for a merchant service company at the unique Airship 37 venue in Toronto’s historic distillery district. Participants were split into 10 teams of 5 people and asked to build, enhance and customize a children’s bike by shopping at the apprentice store for tools and materials they needed. Teams were given an initial budget to spend at the store, but needed to complete tasks and collaborate with other teams in order to get the supplies they needed. Additionally, teams had to create an innovative advertising campaign to market and sell their bike. Some teams chose to do a skit while others highlighted the unique features of their bike. These presentations were done in front of the entire group, creating lots of laughs and great memories. Food and beverages were served throughout the event, making it relaxed, fun, and a social atmosphere. The top 3 teams were chosen by the Apprentice advisers, the winning team was chosen by popular vote and awarded Canadian Outback medals. Teams also created unique team name and the price went to the most creative name. Concluding the event, children from Big Brothers and Big Sisters of the Holstian Region and Native Child and Family Services of Toronto were welcomed into the event room to receive their brand new bicycles. The special guest and bike donation was a complete surprise for the participants. This was an amazing and touching end to a fun evening, especially seeing the children ride the bikes around with big smiles on their faces.

The Apprentice is a great team building event, but not only is it fun and interactive event to build your team, but is also a great way to give back to the community.

Gift Giving in Corporate Team Building in Toronto

Miguel here with another Canadian Outback corporate event update.

This banking company booked an Apprentice event for 700 of their employees, taking place at a hotel downtown Toronto. The group was divided and assigned different rooms throughout the hotel, but at the end, all of them gathered together at a large board ballroom. Where the winning teams had the opportunity to display and showcase their beautiful creations, what they didn’t know is that those items will be donated to the charity this financial institution supports. A few kids were present in the room to receive some of the gifts and the charity representative took the microphone to thank the participants and to let them know where those items will go and how these donations will change the lives and make a lot of children very happy.

If you have a large group and you would like to book with us, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. Please check us out at canadianoutback.com, thank you!
