43rd OALT/ABO annual conference Renewal / Reformé reminder
Good morning all:
In a short 5 weeks, the 43rd OALT/ABO annual conference Renewal / Reformé will be happening at the Conference Centre Fern Resort.
The excitement is mounting. Our Welcome Reception is going to prove to be an exciting affair. Both the Mayor of the Township of Ramara and the Chief of Chippewas of Rama First Nation will be there to give greetings. For the first time ever we are having an Anishinaabe (Ojibway) cultural demonstration. This will be amazing.
Our programs are running two sessions every hour for two full days.
On Friday on the OALT/ABO Conference Tour Afternoon, we are going to visit 3 unique and different libraries which include the newly built Orillia Public Library, Chippewas of Rama First Nation Library and fledgling museum and OPP Headquarters Library
We are finishing off the Friday with a unique dine around in Orillia. Appetizers at Lake Country Grill; Dinner at Theo’s Eatery and a special Dessert in a private room at Casino Rama. The dessert is going to be prepared by Casino Rama’s top chef. Yummy! Pay for your own meal. Transportation is provided
Saturday continues with our outstanding programs and the return of the plenary session at lunch where we brainstorm ideas about our association. And to finish off the event is the return of the popular Banquet and Awards dinner.
We end our conference with our Annual General Meeting. This is a must if you are a member as it gives you the opportunity to learn about what is happening with the chapters and the board.
So we ask you are you coming? Space is limited and going quickly for the entire program.
So don’t delay visit https://oaltabo.on.ca/ and Register TODAY. All are welcome. Non-members can save money and sign up for the association and register for the conference all at the same time.
