The Organizing Committee

Update - April 7, 2026
Well, it is almost spring and less than 4 months to our Hamel Family Reunion! Hope everyone is well and looking forward to the reunion.
We have some very good news! We have a sponsor that has agreed to cover the cost for all the food for the two dinners and Sunday brunch. In addition, Friday and Saturday wine and beer are also included in the sponsorship.
On Friday, come early for dinner if you are in town anytime after 4:00 pm. (Dinner from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm - casual – BBQ – hamburgers, hot dogs, smokies). On Saturday, for those not participating in any outside activities, come anytime after 2:00 pm. (Dinner on Saturday from 6:00 pm until 10:00 am - casual – salads, beef/chicken on a bun, veggies). The Sunday Bruch will be from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.
There are several opportunities on the weekend for extra curricular activities, including golf, visits to Winnipeg Zoo, Human Rights Museum and The Leaf in Assiniboine Park: A Top Canadian Horticultural & Architectural Attraction.
We will send out an email shortly asking if there is interest in some of the opportunities and organize accordingly. Also, we will advise of the location of the reunion. 
Just a reminder, if your circumstances have changed, let us know (will attend/potential/etc). The entire Hamel Family is more than welcome, including children and grandchildren.
