TESTIMONIALS

What People Are Saying

We have been hosting our training retreat weekends here at Crossing for almost 2 years now. Our participants that are involved on these weekends come away appreciating the environment, the atmosphere around them, and the food is amazing. The staff at Crossing makes us feel at home when we arrive and are very diligent in taking care of any needs we may have during the weekend. We appreciate them providing all our audio visual needs so we don’t have bring equipment. We would recommend Crossing to any group wanting top notch service and a retreat centre for your group.
Deborah McInnesCorporate Retreat - Beat The Odds Together
I was planning an offsite event for the Hyatt Regency Calgary Leadership team, and was looking for a venue to do a unique team building event focused on networking and connection. The Crossing turned out to be the perfect venue for our February team building. The meeting space worked very well for our needs as it has flexibility to be meeting space or casual living room style for better networking. Outdoor winter activities included a scavenger hunt, snowshoeing and even making s’mores on the huge open fire pit was a hit! Guest rooms were quiet and well appointed. All of our meals were absolutely outstanding and the team accommodated our special dietary requests with ease. Without a doubt I will be working again soon with the amazing team at The Crossing.
Melanie HollandCorporate Event/Retreat - Hyatt Regency Calgary
This was the second time we decided to hold our Western Retreat at The Crossing as we had a spectacular visit the first time. The meeting rooms were spacious, fully equipped and allowed for an opportunity to stretch the legs and enjoy a short nature walk between the dining experience and the meetings. The grounds are stunning and offer many different options for team building activities (we did fly fishing and nature yoga). The Inn is only a short drive to and from the Calgary airport, so is very convenient for out of city travellers. The food is amazing and Carol and her team went out of their way to accommodate our group’s every need. Overall a special place to host a ‘real Albertan’ experience.
Tamara CluffCorporate Event/Retreat - Sanofi
We facilitated a 3 day Leadership Retreat at Ghost Crossing. The facility was ideal: there was space to facilitate sessions, be outdoors for team building activities, have connecting conversations around a campfire, comfortable accommodations, amazing meals and all within a short drive from Calgary.
Jen ZLeadership Retreat
The Crossing continues to provide a warm and collaborative atmosphere for our annual Board/Executive Planning Sessions. From the beautiful, secluded location in the foothills, to their comforting and indulgent menu offerings, and committed, friendly staff, any organization looking for a facility to work on planning and team building, will not be disappointed.
Aileen ViloraCorporate Event/Retreat - Servus Credit Union
The HRIA Board of Directors has been holding its annual retreat at The Crossing for a number of years now. The peaceful surroundings, well-equipped meeting space, and excellent service make this an easy choice. The group always raves about the delicious, and plentiful food!
Janice Mac PhersonCorporate Event/Retreat - HRIA
For several years, we have used The Crossing at Ghost River for management retreats. Inspiring environment, relaxation, and play are essential for stimulating creativity, productivity and fresh communication within a team. The facilities and food service are exceptional. Every detail is 5 stars. Diane, Carol and the rest of the staff are always flexible and accommodating to our requests. They are an integral part of the seamless execution of our agenda. It is a pleasure dealing with professional staff that listen to our specific needs and follow through with every detail, every time.
Barb TuyttensCorporate Event/Retreat - Pacific Western Group of Companies
Every year, our organization holds a planning session for the leadership team and this is the second year that we have held it at The Crossing. We have two intense days of work to get through and we rely on the professionalism and support that the superb staff at The Crossing consistently provide. Cozy accommodations, functional conference space, delicious food and very attentive service make The Crossing a favourite place to step back and really look at the big picture. The location and grounds provide the perfect setting for removing all distractions and really getting lots done, with time to relax, play horseshoes and have a fire by the river.
Jacquie TackaberryCorporate Event/Retreat - Building Trades of Alberta
As a location for an educational or business retreat, away from the distractions and interruptions of a normal workday, we found The Crossing at Ghost River to be an excellent choice. Not only were the meeting rooms well appointed, all of our technology needs were met. While the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing, the venue is organized with multiple meeting areas and evening activities, providing ample space for work as well as recreation. The accommodations are comfortable and decorated to feel ‘homey’ and the food is outstanding, offering a variety of menu options What makes The Crossing at Ghost River truly unique, however, is the setting: it is beautifully scenic, nestled in the foothills, and beside the picturesque Ghost River.
