Graduations

Advice for the road ahead.

From Carleton and uOttawa convocations to the family backyard, a Well Wishes audio guestbook turns graduation day into a time capsule. Parents, professors, coaches and best friends leave the kind of advice a diploma can't — captured in their own voices and delivered as a keepsake to open years down the line.

Ottawa graduation parties, elevated

Convocation lunch at the Fairmont Château Laurier, a backyard dinner in Westboro, a rented private room at Brookstreet Hotel or the National Arts Centre — the vintage phone travels beautifully. Guests dial in advice between courses, and you leave with a keepsake more meaningful than the frame on the wall.

A gift that ages with them

Grandparents share wisdom. Old teachers show up in voice. Best friends predict the future. Ten years later, on a hard day at a first job, the graduate presses play and hears exactly what they needed to hear all along.
