Mark your calendars for September 26–27, 2026, and join fellow Highland members for The Kyloe Drive Weekend, the Canadian Highland Cattle Society's annual gathering. Hosted in beautiful Prince Edward Island, this weekend offers a unique opportunity to connect with breeders from across the country while experiencing some of the Island's agricultural industries.
Registration is $175 for CHCS members and $200 for non-members.
The weekend will feature a variety of educational and social experiences, including a farm tour of Catchgate Highland Fold, hosted by Alice & Andrew Dixon, where attendees will enjoy lunch while learning about their Highland cattle operation.
Participants will also take part in a Beef Cattle Management Education Seminar, providing valuable insights and practical information for breeders and producers.
Saturday evening will feature a traditional PEI dining experience at New Glasgow Lobster Suppers, where guests can enjoy Island favourites including fresh mussels, seafood chowder, lobster, and more.
Beyond Highland cattle, attendees will discover the diversity of Prince Edward Island agriculture with a guided tour of Deep Roots Orchard & Distillery, where they will learn about apple production, distillation, value-added agriculture, and business diversification on PEI.
No visit to Prince Edward Island would be complete without experiencing the Island's renowned aquaculture industry. Guests will enjoy a tour of Brackley Bay Oyster Company, including an interactive oyster shucking session and an opportunity to learn firsthand about oyster farming and harvesting.
The weekend also includes free time in the picturesque village of Victoria-by-the-Sea, allowing attendees to explore local shops, galleries, and waterfront attractions while choosing from a variety of lunch options to suit both seafood lovers and those who prefer land-based fare.
Whether you're a long-time breeder or a new member The Kyloe Drive Weekend promises an enjoyable blend of education, fellowship, and Island hospitality.
We look forward to welcoming members from coast to coast to Prince Edward Island for an unforgettable weekend.
Please note that a limited number of rooms will be held until July 27th, after that date the rates will be extended based on availability at time of booking.
