WELCOME TO THIS YEAR’S CONFERENCE SPACE!

“Making Lemonade", our very first virtual conference, will offer participants the opportunity to learn, connect and share with colleagues from across the country from the comfort of their hometown or any other undisclosed location. 

We have lined up an exciting roster of speakers and discussion topics!

We are very pleased to announce that topics covered will include federal and provincial government programs, scholarships and awards and financial literacy, as well as other themes connected to our work. We have the confirmed participation of a number of jurisdictional representatives, both federal and provincial, as well as two inspirational keynote speakers and a host of colleagues sharing their expertise and stimulating meaningful discussions. Please consult the conference tabs for more details.

A few basic organizational details:
