6:00 - 7:30 p.m. 

Begin your evening with a handcrafted cocktail that sets the tone for an unforgettable harvest‑season feast. 

At 6 p.m. you’ll break warm, freshly baked breads with whipped butter before enjoying a garden‑fresh mixed salad tossed in a bright vinaigrette. 

The star of the evening is Executive Chef Dave Formosa’s Hunter’s Chicken  Supreme - pan‑seared, finished in white wine with fresh tarragon, braised wild mushrooms, and a hint of rosemary, served alongside his signature roasted seasonal vegetables. 

A curated flight of wines elevates every flavour note. 

Finally, indulge in classic New York cheesecake crowned with fruit compote, then linger over artisanal coffees and teas as conversation flows.

Discussing the Biggest 

Wealth Handoff in Canadian History  

Ken Hewitt  was born in 1967, the last time the Toronto Leafs hoisted the Stanley Cup.  Ken knows patience and payoff. After three decades as a practicing financial advisor and owner of a thriving planning firm, he has helped hundreds of families and business owners map the transition of assets, land, and legacy.

Ken’s public‑service streak is just as deep: three terms as Mayor of Haldimand County, a Queen’s Jubilee Medal, and a current role on the Ontario Land Tribunal, where he weighs in on everything from minor variances to multi‑million‑dollar zoning decisions. 

In the heart of Southwestern Ontario’s rich agricultural belt, Ken speaks on “The Transfer of Generational Wealth.”  

With trademark humour and hard‑won insight, he shows producers and entrepreneurs how to protect family harmony, minimize tax, and keep the farm or enterprise thriving for the next generation.
