On the weekend Claudia and Jenny assisted Darlene Hastings from the Insurance Institute in St. John’s . Anyone whose been to Newfoundland knows you must don the Sou’ Wester and kiss the cod!

Last week the ddm team helped bring together 180 winners of the Alexander Keith’s 214th Birthday contest in Halifax for 2 action packed days of celebrating. From on-line registration, to booking flights, and providing the client with a team of hospitable program managers, we had a great time!

In September of 2008 ddm had the distinct pleasure of working with the Nova Scotia chapter of the Children’s Wish Foundation on their “Exile Island” event.

The ‘survivor theme’ event took place on George’s Island in the Halifax harbour. It was an amazing experience as everything came together on a particularly gorgeous day in Nova Scotia.

Cheryl Matthews, Chapter Director, Nova Scotia Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada had this to say about ddm’s work:

“Words just don’t say enough, I am ‘floating’ right now. What an event… I can’t begin to express my thoughts and feelings, WOW sums it up. I am a little overwhelmed today trying to get through the glowing comments…”

Ultimately, the event raised almost $500,000 – Wish fulfillment of the highest order. The best part was that all of the 10 wish kids connected with the event were able to have a wish granted!

Don Douloff of Meetings and Incentive Travel magazine recently published an article about the event- read the full article here.
