Healthy Families Conference, Vancouver, BC
April 8, 2009
In the Spring issue of 'delivered fresh', we mentioned a fabulous event that is coming to the UBC Student Union Building in Vancouver on April 18th and 19th.
Hosted by visionary Margo Running, of LifeWays Childcare Society, The Healthy Families Conference invites educators and parents from across the Pacific Northwest to participate in an event designed to inspire, support, and connect the amazing individuals who contribute to building community for our children at home and in school. This two-day event event is focused on answering questions such as: How do we simplify, slow down in order to give quality time to our children, in our home, in our care and in our school? How do we create a community around our children? It is packed with great presentations, breakout sessions, workshops, discussion groups, and meals that will create a collaborative and participatory setting, giving each participant a toolkit of resources and contacts to take home. Attend the Healthy Families Conference to learn skills and strategies to nurture strong relationships within your family and create strong ties for children within your community.
Keynote speakers include: Peggy O'Mara (Mothering Magazine), Shea Darian (Author, Parent Educator), Suzanne Down (Juniper Tree Puppets), Cynthia Aldinger (LifeWays), and Anna Rainville, (Top Kindergarten Teacher in California, 2002)

NEW! They’ve added another registration level: $59 – yep, that’s right! Times are busy and budgets are tight so they’ve opened up a half-day rate for just $59 (one coffee break included). This means that it’s even easier for parents and educators to pick and choose the best time for them.
