This is the permanent home page for the annual AGM:

The CPF BC & Yukon Branch is happy to announce our 2011 AGM & Conference registration is now open!   Join other parents who are working to advocate for strong and sustainable French programs in BC and Yukon. Attend informative seminars, engage in lively discussions, and have fun!  This event will be held in Metro Vancouver at the conveniently located hotel, Radisson Hotel Vancouver Airport (in Richmond, BC).

We strongly encourage all chapters to send two or three delegates (depending on the size of your chapter’s membership). The theme of this year’s CPF BC & Yukon conference is Membership Outreach & Development.

We have invited some exceptionally strong presenters to give workshops on everything from engaging your local parent community through Facebook and other social media, to how to use events like summer camps to raise funds and engage new parents, to how to effectively communicate the benefits of membership.

REGISTER CLOSED

(Early-Bird Registration Deadline Is Sunday, October 16th
The Final Registration Deadline is Friday, October 21st)

We are excited to announce the following presenters will be hosting workshops at this year’s conference:

• Annemarie Templeman-Kluit - LintBucket Communications (recently described as one of Canada’s leading Digital Moms)
• Jean-François Packwood (Executive Director Conseil cultural et artistique de colombie britanique),
• Ann Whiteaker (President, BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils),
• Jamie Biggar (Executive Director, LeadNow – a national community-based citizen engagement group)

In addition to the networking opportunities built into the conference schedule the Saturday evening banquet is building-up to be a great evening that will include a semi-formal dinner, discussions, and presentations. St-John Alexander of CTV News Vancouver, a former French second language student here in Metro Vancouver, will be our Master of Ceremonies. Former CPF BC & Yukon Executive Director (2001-2006), and current leader of the provincial New Democrat Party, Adrian Dix is scheduled to be our keynote speaker.

Chapter Reporting Table: A table will be set-up for delegates throughout the conference to help your chapter with any outstanding chapter reporting questions or concerns. This is a great opportunity for one-on-one chapter reporting training and guidance from one of us here at the CPF BC & Yukon office. Please take advantage of this training and mentoring opportunity by bringing along any reporting documents which would help us get your chapter up-to-date.  

Silent Auction: Chapter delegates attending are asked to bring along a small gift from their community (gift bag, local CPF SWAG, something unique to your community, etc.) for a silent auction that will take place during the Saturday night banquet.
