NSA 2013 - The Northeast Comes to Cornwall

Approximately 1,000 delegates from all over Eastern Canada and the North East USA are expected to converge on Cornwall for 4 days in September 2013. The Northeast Shrine Association recently announced that they have chosen Cornwall as the host community for the 2013 Northeast Shrine Association Fall Field Days, to be held September 19th to 22nd, 2013.

The convention encompasses a multitude of events – a parade, dinners, a Golf Tournament, a large banquet and several different competitive events such as Clown, Band and Motor corps competitions, just to name a few.

"We are very excited to have the opportunity to host the Shrine convention here in Cornwall” commented Mayor Bob Kilger. “The Karnak Shriners have been a part of our community for many years, participating in parades and other events. It will be our pleasure to welcome them as they gather to conduct their business, and celebrate their organization. Bienvenue à tous et bon congrès."

The Karnak Shriners have twice held Spring Ceremonials here, in 1987 and 1995. This is the first time that a Shrine Convention of this magnitude has been held in our community.
