  CanSPEP 
  Reception, Luncheon and Give Back

  12:30 – 5:00 

  Hilton Mississauga/Meadowvale

  6750 Mississauga Road, Mississauga, ON L5N 2L3

  (Same hotel as MPI Toronto Gala)

  Come celebrate the Season of Kindness with your CanSPEP friends.

  Thanks to the generosity of our partners, we are able to expand this event to include a reception and luncheon.  

  We will be stuffing shelter kits with warm winter items (hats, mitts, scarves, socks) food items and hygiene products.

  Come lend a hand, enjoy a lunch, have some fun and help those less fortunate.

  As with last year, all registration fees will go toward purchasing the items for the shelter kits.  The more money we raise, the more shelter kits we can create. Please register to attend and help us maximize the number of shelter kits we can provide.

  We look forward to seeing you.  And if you’re attending the MPI dinner, well, you're in luck!!  You will not have to get into your car to get there!!!

  If you’re staying for the MPI Holiday Event, the CanSPEP Glam Room will give you the perfect opportunity to refresh and change into your best holiday sparkle before the evening festivities.

  And while you're at it, why not register for the MPI Gala here
