2026 KYLOE DRIVE


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 members from across the country while experiencing some of the Island's agricultural industries. 

 

The weekend will feature a variety of educational and social experiences, including:

  • bussing from the hotel to the various locations will be provided
  • a farm tour of Catchgate Highland Fold, hosted by Alice & Andrew Dixon, where attendees will enjoy lunch while learning about their Highland cattle operation
  • 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
  • a guided tour of Deep Roots Orchard & Distillery, where they will learn about apple production, distillation, value-added agriculture, and business diversification on PEI
  • a tour of Brackley Bay Oyster Company, including an interactive oyster shucking session and an opportunity to learn firsthand about oyster farming and harvesting
  • 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 (on your own) 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. Registration is $175 for CHCS members and $200 for non-members. Deadline to register is September 1, 2026.
