Mind Blizzard!

6:15 – 7:30 pm

We’re hosting a Mind Blizzard!

To work in communications, it helps to have a balance between right-brain and left-brain tendencies. But many of us have had far too much left-brain analytical work lately and not nearly enough right-brain creativity. We’re out to change that with a Mind Blizzard.

After the Annual General Meeting, plan to hang out for some fun. We have an exciting announcement to make then we’ll have everyone put on their creative thinking cap for a little Manitoba-focused brainstorming. Prizes for the most unique or outrageous thinking cap! And feel free to BYOB, whatever it takes to get your creative juices flowing.

Here are a few questions to get you started:

  • What are THE quintessential Manitoba venues or locations, from the corner of Portage and Main in any direction up to a 30-minute drive from the Perimeter?
  • What activities are undeniably Manitoban?
  • If you could choose a tagline for Manitoba communications what would it be?

Join us for a quick bit of CPRS business followed by plenty of laughs and camaraderie with fellow communicators – we’ve earned it!
