Invitation

You are warmly invited to the 155th Celebration of St. Andrew’s Day on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at the Caboto Centre, Winnipeg. This is not simply a dinner, but one of Winnipeg’s finest heritage evenings — and as a member of the Society, you are at the heart of it.

We are honoured to welcome Mr. Dave Angus, O.M., 15th Chancellor of the University of Manitoba and President of Johnston Group Inc., as our guest speaker to honour the day. Dave is the past President and CEO of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce and a recipient of the Order of Manitoba, Dave brings a distinguished record of leadership and community service to this special evening.

The evening will begin with a President’s Reception with prosecco, followed by the piping of the head table and a Grand March to set the tone for the night. From there, you will enjoy the Address to the Haggis, a traditional Scottish beef dinner, stirring performances by a major pipe band and Highland dancers, a Scottish country dance demonstration, raffles, and more hosted by Scottish music radio personalities Gary Moir and Dwight MacAulay, CVO, President. Tartan dress is warmly encouraged.

Early-bird ticket prices for members and non-members end on September 7, and there is a special opportunity to be a Clan Friend at any time.
