We had a wonderful time for our retreat on Saturday. We were blessed to have such lovely weather as well. The group was happy to walk to the field station from the parking lot and back for the hatchet throwing. The field station is really beautiful and I am thankful for that much space, quiet, and comfort. All of the technology worked like a breeze too.

FortWhyte was a great location for our two day corporate retreat! This was the first time our team had met together in six months and it was an enjoyable, productive two days. We very much enjoyed the bison safari, as well as the mindfulness walk through the park on a beautiful fall day!

Ryan Sparkes R&D Director at Cubresa

We did appreciate the location and all the services that were provided. Everyone was so friendly and nice to deal with. I have passed the information on your facility to a colleague in another department.
