It’s up to you! Air Canada will fly you and that special someone to the destination of your choosing anywhere in North America, the Caribbean and Hawaii, or use these round-trip Economy Class tickets to stay for three nights in the pulse of New York City at the fabulous new Ace Hotel New York. The ACE Hotel just opened on April 1 so it is brand spanking new, and is located in Chelsea – the happening district that has it all – nightlife, art, shopping and recreation. Ace Hotels marry the high and the low, the new with the old, the pragmatic with the romantic in an effort to create a comforting sense of modern bohemia. The Ace Hotel New York is not trying to be another iteration of the modern, generic design product that is now widely available. It is revisiting the classic city hotel — a cultural thoroughfare anchored in a sense of place and animated by a sense of community. Rooms are adorned with custom loose canvas artworks by both locally and nationally recognized artists, and a mix of vintage and custom furniture. Try something new and exciting in incredible New York City. Tempting, isn’t it?

Blackouts dates: Dec. 16/09 and Jan.11/10, March 31/10 and April 5/10
Expires April 30, 2010.

Picture this – laughing until you can laugh no more with 15 of your friends and/or colleagues in the privacy of the TELUS Hospitality Suite at GM Place, June 16, 2009 for Russell Peters 20th Anniversary Tour.

Award winning Russell Peters’ fame has exploded across the globe. Peters’ shows are so popular, second shows have been added in Vancouver and Toronto. For those who don’t already know who this famous Canadian is (say it isn’t so!), he is as much a humorist as a comedian. Peters' comedy focuses on his Canadian upbringing and racial stereotypes and explores the cultural divides between many different ethnicities. His quick wit and ability to mimic language and accents allows Russell to create characters of all races and cultures and forge an immediate bond with his audiences, regardless of their racial and cultural background. Buy this incredible live auction item and it is your box to fill. What a fabulous way to entertain clients, get together with friends or celebrate a special occasion. Look around your table. Why not get your friends together now and bid!

Package includes 16 tickets
