Behind The Scenes!
Our Board of Directors & Planning Committee are an important part of the CHEO BBQ. Thanks to their dedication and hard work- not to mention the extra ideas, hands and support- they make the event possible.
The team meets once a month in the Fall and every two weeks in the Spring to help with the planning process and decision making. It’s surprising how much work goes into an annual event!
