Cookout with Cuddy - The Encore

Each year CNIB Lake Joe invites honoured guests and fabulous friends for an unforgettable evening of laughter and world-class entertainment on the shores of Lake Joseph.

We believe that if some is good, more is better! Last year’s “Cookout with Cuddy” event was an outstanding success – a sold-out show with hundreds of guests soaking up the sun and enjoying a live, lakeshore performance by Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo fame! Join us for another round of sizzling fun on Saturday, August 17, 4-9 p.m. at CNIB Lake Joe, 4 Joe Finley Way, MacTier.

We're turning up the heat for another epic gathering that promises to be the highlight of the season. Treat yourself to the very best:

  • a live sunset performance with Jim Cuddy.
  • a BBQ feast compliments of celebrity chef Ted Reader (aka “Godfather of the Grill”).
  • a bounty of thirst-quenching beverages including special drinks from our beverage sponsors Clear Lake Brewery, Tito’s Vodka and non-alcoholic beverage partner Barbet (19+ event).
  • the chance to win awesome prizes at our silent and live auctions (see below); and
  • the opportunity to give people impacted by blindness a life-changing experience at camp.

Tickets are almost sold out. Get yours before they are gone! Don't miss this opportunity to create lasting memories and soak up the summer sun with friends old and new.

Get ready to bid on the best prizes in our online silent auction (opens July 29, 2024):

  • A round of golf for four with hockey legend Wendel Clark followed by dinner & drinks at his cottage
  • Amazing vacation experiences (local and international)

  • Art to ignite your imagination
  • And so much more!
