FAQ's
1. Are there vegetarian dinner options in the $15 dinner/drink/ticket deal? Yes, there are 7 dinner special options with 2.5 of them being vegetarian (the 0.5 involves salmon)
2. What if we don’t want the dinner special? Then just come and party plus from 4:30-10pm there’s heaps of other Canadian snacks from poutine to pancakes to honey/dill chicken fingers to quesadillas.
3. Will you be showing the Wallabies game (vs Ireland)? Yes BUT the game will be shown ONLY in the upstairs “Maple Leaf Lounge”… so the rest of us can keep partying Canadian style all night!!
4. How does the free ice hockey ticket work? With the $15 dinner special, you also get a ticket that’s valid for an Ice Dogs home game. Check out their schedule at www.icedogs.com.au. FYI, there are only 300 hockey tickets available for the dinner special so it's first come first serve.
5. Are there really Caesar’s? Yes but don’t expect them to last all night. We managed to import 100 litres of Clamato Juice! Sounds like a lot but not when there’s hundreds of people!!!
6. What’s Whistler Beer? It's delicious. Brewed in Whistler, Canada but owned by an Australian, a perfect fit for Network Canada.
7. Trivia starts at 5pm. There will be a bonus trivia question on the night and only those who read this will know that the answer is "Network Canada Rocks ".
