Conference welcome:
"We are living in exciting times with the announcement from the federal government to provide five billion dollars over five years for provinces and territories to enhance and expand early learning and child care.
Our conference committee has chosen the Inuksuk as our Logo to represent Early Childhood Education as a lasting, steadfast signpost to the future. As ECE's we are the messengers that can give guidance on the journey towards the development of a National System of Early Learning and Child Care.
Please come to Ottawa and be part of the important discussion about the direction Early Childhood Education will be taken and what it means for the future of our ECE field. May our symbol of the Inuksuk denote the importance of a solid foundation for the development and well being of young children."
Conference will feature:
- workshops
- exhibitors' showcase
- keynote speakers
- centre visits
- evening social tours
- gala dinner
