The 10th Annual Summit for Urban Animal Strategies Convenes in Kananaskis

Three weeks from today, thought leaders of the global Urban Animal industry will convene for Summit 2015 in Alberta's Rocky Mountains. 

Earlier this summer, Lisa Milton, Urban Animal Event Producer together with loyal four-legged Alumni 'Squish' traveled to Kananaskis to inspect venues and the surrounding territory. The result is a 'Squish' approved property much closer to the Calgary Airport. 

The Delta Lodge at Kananaskis is an hour away from the Calgary Airport, has daily transfer services, is pet friendly and has a stellar reputation for supporting international summits. The recent purchase of this property by the Pomeroy Group and a commitment to add millions of dollars of upgrades and services suggests this venue could serve the Urban Animal program for the long term.

Kananaskis Provincial Park is one of the premiere recreational sites in Western Canada. Guests of Summit 2015 will enjoy added recreational features at this facility and other venues close by. The Nakiska Ski area, Rafter Six Ranch and the Stoney Nakoda Resort and Casino are all in close proximity to the Lodge.

Squish cordially invites all Alumni (2 and 4 legged) to join her at the Delta Lodge at Kananaskis for Summit 2015. 

Delegates are invited to complete their registration and update personal requests at SUMMIT 2015.

Lodge confirmations will be emailed to delegates and all delegate requests will be turned over to the Delta concierge one week before the Summit. 

Please contact Urban Animal program manager, Shannon Woodward for further assistance.
