Edmonton Also Knows - Minute To Win It is The Best Corporate Team Building Activity



Hello this is Jill with another corporate event update.

We’re out here in the beautiful but chilly Edmonton, Alberta, and we’ve just completed a Minute to Win It for a local company that was doing their annual meetings. They have come in with the intention to have the Minute to Win It, split up into two separate activities. So two quick, 45 minute round as they had first session of meetings and a second session of meetings, so we were able to break it up quite nicely, have a few less challenges but still have that super competitive, high energy, which is what the Minute to Win It event is all about. These guys had such a fantastic time, really great when we get to make the businessmen and women in their suits get down, get a little dirty with their playing games, we had a big hit with the nose dive challenge, biggest laugh out of the entire day. It was one gentleman who decided to put Vaseline all over his face to get as many cotton balls as he could on his face, in order to get the best points for his teams. We got a couple of really funny photos out of that and a lot of people had some good laughs and we all joked that it was just a good moisturization for his face which was very funny and enjoyable. The client was really happy with event, they enjoyed the fact that it was something fun and quick and it was customizable to their meeting timeline that we could squish it down, the Minute to Win It, how they needed their morning to flow, so they were really happy with that, it was a fun, last hoorah before they send off their staff home for the end of their meeting. So really happy and we really enjoyed working with this group, looking forward to doing the next one with them, hopefully sometime soon.

The Apprentice Corporate Team Building Activity in Vancouver



Hello this is Jill with another corporate event update.

It is January 8th and we’re out here in Vancouver, BC, and we have just completed an Apprentice for a small group. It was for a local credit union and they were doing their annual meeting and had us come in to do an Apprentice activity for the afternoon. They are really excited to do this event, they really love the creativity. It was a tossup between this and our Cake Creators but they decided to go with the Apprentice, and they are really excited to have both the trade-able aspect with being able to donate the bikes afterwards to one of the local charities they work with as well as getting their people outside of their comfort zones a little bit with the difference of the marketing ideas they were coming up with and getting a little bit more hands on, building children’s bikes. They had such a great time with this event, the big hoorah at the end was one of the teams’ final presentations, this is the team that actually won, the marketing team actually said that they love their presentation so much because they tied in to the credit union and community promotions that they were gonna use their ideas and actual promotions that they were gonna do with the company within the next year, so that’s really cool to see that just something came out of a fun team building afternoon is actually gonna be used in the business during the next year. So really valuable on a few different fronts for the clients and they were really ecstatic to have that opportunity happen as well as just have such a great event for their participants. So we’re looking forward to doing another event with them next year at their next meetings and we will do the cake creators for them.

Minute to Win It Corporate Team Building Event in Markham, Toronto



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

We just ran our Minute to Win It event in Markham for a major credit card company. This was their financial team’s end of the year party. The group took part in 12 seemingly simple 60 second challenges where teams compete head to head to become Minute to Win It champions. This group had lots of enthusiasm and enjoyed working with their colleagues to complete these wacky challenges. This fun and exciting event made for a great end of the year wrap up.

Amazing Chase Corporate Team Building Event in Whistler



Hi this is Jill with another corporate event update.

It is December 6th and we are up here in beautiful Whistler, BC and we have just completed an Amazing Chase for a local dating company. They were up here doing their yearly meetings and were looking for something different they haven’t normally done before for their fun aspect for their afternoon’s activity. So they brought us in and the Amazing Chase was such a great fit for them as they were young, athletic and outgoing group, so they were really excited to get outside their comfort zones a little bit and have something really competitive for their teams to participate in this afternoon. They did such a fantastic job, it was incredibly cold out here for BC weather, a chilly minus 10, but these guys bundled up and went out right away. There was a lot of great enthusiasm for all of the challenges and we had a little bit of a late start, but these guys were persevering to the best of their abilities to get as much of the challenging event done as possible. So it was really great to see that these guys didn’t let the fact that we started late get them down, they were still utilizing all of their time to the best of their ability. So I really enjoyed seeing all of these guys get off there, these different people from different offices getting together, engaging with each other as well as putting some really fantastic and funny enthusiasm in for the event. They had a great time and our client was really happy with the way the events turned out and were already looking forward to doing something with them in the spring.
