Not only will your ticket purchase help your local riding association get ready for the next election, you’ll also have the opportunity to engage with fellow Liberals to discuss the future of our party and our great province.

The following ticket options are available:

The price of your ticket includes two bottles of wine at each table (one red, one white) and your meal, which comprises:

• Appetizer: Artisan Bread Rolls, House Salad

• Main Course: Chicken Supreme, served with roasted potatoes and seasonal roasted vegetables, with your choice of sauce (a Stuffed Squash meal is available as an alternative for those with dietary restrictions)

There will also be a cash bar.

We will be communicating with everyone who purchases a ticket prior to the event to determine if you have special dietary needs and will work with the venue to accommodate you.

If you are unable to attend, but would like to contribute to the event, please consider purchasing a Youth ticket to donate so that a Young Liberal can attend.
