Resolutions will debated on Day 2. Association business, including elections for positions on the Provincial Executive, will also be conducted on Day 2.
Program Highlights - Keynote Speaker
Cassie Campbell-Pascall will open the Annual Convention with a keynote address on Thursday morning. Cassie is a two-time Olympic gold medalist in women’s hockey and an eight-time world champion.
