SATISFIED CLIENT

“I wanted to write a brief note to you guys (or as we say in the South, ‘You All’) to express my deep gratitude for organizing and hosting a fantastic conference. You certainly went above and beyond in continuing the Metro tradition of excellence! Everything was absolutely superb, but I feel compelled to single out the closing dinner as it was the best I have experienced my 23 years of attending Metro Conferences.”
Russell E. Sanders, NFPA

“Both conferences (Diverse Voice and Victims of Homicide)  I have worked with Cathy on are opposites in terms of size and scope and the type of delegates they attract. Despite this, they are consistent in the level of professionalism and quality noted by delegates. These are truly world class conferences that will continue to meet their objectives in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend Cana Events to any organization or government department planning a conference.”
Colleen Connelly, Program Support Analyst, Priority Prolific Offender Program, Alberta Justice and Solicitor General

“I was constantly impressed with her level of organization, professionalism, efficiency, and over-all competence. She was genuinely committed to our conference and steering committee, which showed in everything that she did for us, often going above and beyond her role. She was always clear that her goal was to ensure that our conference committee, delegates, presenters, and other stakeholders had the best possible experience.”

“In our two-day conference attended by 250 people, Cathy Harvey applied her creative style, broad network of contacts, and volunteer management skills to co-ordinate a seamless event. She effectively managed simultaneous activities, while maintaining an attitude of professional leadership and confidence during what can be chaotic moments behind the scenes of large events.  Cathy’s greatest attribute is her genuine interest in the needs of her clients. Her efforts to understand the culture of our organization, and then to shape an event that was reflective of our community, resulted in a meaningful and memorable event for participants.”
