Hello Visitor,


โ€‹
The 2013 CAHS National Convention & Annual General Meeting - "The Big Five O" - will take place from 11 - 15 September 2013 in Ottawa - Gatineau. Due to the generosity of corporate and individual donors, CAHS National is able to hold a silent auction at the 2013 convention! 

Viewing will begin on Wednesday 11 September 2013 during the reception, and items will be on display during the day Thursday 12 September and up until noon on Friday 13 September. Winners will be announced at the end of lunch on 13 September.
 
How does one participate? There will be bidding sheets for each item. Just put your name and bid amount down on the items you want. Keep checking back throughout the convention to see if you have been outbid in order to place another higher bid. There are no limits on the number of times you can bid or the number of items you can try to win. The highest bidder for each item at the close of the auction will be declared the winner.
 
So bring your cheque book; empty out your piggy banks; check those sofa cushions for extra change, and come prepared to take home some great deals on some great items!

Many thanks to the following donors for their generous contributions!
