SABA annual dinner event postponed until Feb. 4

The South Algonquin Business Association annual dinner event that was supposed to happen virtually on Jan. 21 had to be postponed due to technical issues with the meeting software. The event will now feature a third guest speaker and will go from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Feb. 4 via Zoom. Attendees invited to the event do not need to pre-register as they did with the deferred event; they can just log right into the meeting. Angela Pollak of SABA says that there are now three speakers who will be sharing their time with those in attendance. They are; Kate Monk from Explorers’ Edge, who will talk about the new GreatCanadianWildnerness.ca website update and their new license that lets them sell packages, Carolyn Barker-Brown about the programs SABA has access to through Community Futures in Bancroft and Laurie Marcil from Nature and Outdoor Tourism Ontario (NOTO.ca) will talk about how to connect with the resources their organization provides. Pollak says that in reflecting on the road it took to get here, if there is a silver lining to a disruptive and awful experience like the pandemic, it’s that everyone is being called upon to innovate, learn, cooperate and create new connections within their communities. “I’m so proud of the people in South Algonquin and the volunteers at SABA for so enthusiastically rising to the challenge. This is a great community to live, work and play in,” she says. Pollak says the planning is coming along well and that they’re excited about the event in its new format. “We’re especially grateful to our three guest speakers for being so willing and eager to share their time with us,” she says. “We’re looking forward to hearing what they have to say.” Michael Riley, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, The Bancroft Times
