    Do you know someone who wants to attend an SMCC event, but isn’t ready to commit to an annual membership? We're thrilled to introduce a new initiative at SMCC that aims to foster a sense of community and encourage member engagement. In December, SMCC members will have the opportunity to bring a colleague or friend to holiday event for free to allow them to experience firsthand the vibrant and enriching atmosphere we offer!

    We believe that sharing the SMCC experience with friends can be a powerful way to showcase the value of our community, and this initiative underscores our commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment. So, go ahead and invite a friend to join you at our next event, and let's make the SMCC community even stronger!

    Members can register for the event as usual, and friends can select the "plus1" ticket type at registration. Contact the SMCC Office for the code and more instructions!

    SMCC is committed to an inclusive environment in all its activities and welcomes members, non-members, volunteers and partners regardless of their race, colour, gender identity, religion, nationality, ancestry, citizenship, physical abilities, age and sexual orientation.
