Manning Park Foray
Hi folks! We are excited to officially announce that the VMS will be returning to Manning Park once again for our annual weekend excursion from September 12-14, 2025. We'd love for you to be there!

The Last Resort Lodge in Manning Park boasts dorm-style shared accommodations for up to 50 people, and comes with amenities like shared washrooms, a communal fire pit, a dining and lounge area, access to pool and sauna facilities, and an outdoor picnic area.

Pricing: Tickets are on sale NOW and likely to sell out, so act fast! Admission: $250 pp We only take e-transfer, please be ready to send one with your name in the message once you've submitted the form. The fees cover 6 […]
