Golden Key Leadership Retreat

On the weekend I headed down to Toronto for a leadership retreat associated with the Golden Key Honor Society. We met at Hart House on the University of Toronto campus and then took the bus up to the Hart House farm which is about an 45 minute drive north. I came representing the Ottawa chapter, and a couple of people came from Alberta with the majority of the people coming from Toronto. Over the weekend we went hiking, played capture the flag in the dark and did a couple of leadership exercises. Our first task was to split into two teams and come up with a team name and chant. My team was called “Mas cash” which was based on the first letter in our given name while the other team was called “the Wonka Nerds.” During one of our breaks we hiked around the property and explored the caves/cliffs as well as take some novel pictures (people arranged by height). We each took the Myers-Brigg personality test and determined our leadership styles. It was fun adventure and gave me a chance to network with people from different chapters.
