Registration

Registration is now open. 

*This year we are conducting a pilot initiative allowing for virtual participation in the National Business Meeting portion of the Annual Meeting.  This will include the ability for delegates to both vote and pose questions and comments during the live meeting, as well as view speeches and keynote addresses taking place on Saturday. Note this only includes participation in the National Business Meeting on Saturday and not any of the other in-person conference events such as education workshops or networking.

**Co-operative Management Conference

What’s included?

Registration fees include:

• • All workshops – Member Education Forum or Co-operative Management Conference
  • All meeting materials
  • Welcome reception
  • Friday breakfast
  • Night at the Museum (local social)
  • Saturday lunch

Please note the meals that are provided in the full registration fee are breakfast on Friday morning and lunch on Saturday. All other meals will need to be covered by attendees. Please see this link here for suggestions on per diem rates.  

*Please note that registering for the virtual National Business Meeting does not include access to any other event. It provides you with a link to vote as a delegate and view the National Business Meeting only.

**Please note that registering for workshops only does not  include access to any other event, including the Welcome reception, Friday breakfast, Local social, Regional Meetings and the National Business Meeting.

COVID-19

We are not requiring proof of Covid-19 vaccinations this year.  For members uncomfortable with in-person attendance, there is the option of virtual attendance at the National Business Meeting.

Full refunds will be provided to conference attendees who test positive for Covid-19 up to one week before the conference begins. 

 Pro-rated refunds will be provided to conference attendees who test positive for Covid-19 and have to isolate during the event.

In the event that CHF Canada has to cancel the 2023 Annual Meeting as a result of a Covid-19 outbreak, extreme weather event or any other event that puts the health and safety of attendees at risk, registration fee refunds will be provided in full to attendees. 

Donations

Each year, we ask for donations to an organization that helps people experiencing homelessness in our host city. This year, we are asking for donations to Operation Come Home, an organization dedicated to preventing homeless youth from becoming homeless adults. If you’d like to contribute, you can do so when you register.
