Unforgettable Opportunity

Our Unstoppable National Convention will provide an in-person opportunity for Network Leaders and Board Members to share their passion and vision for our federation.

Over the 3 days together, there will be structured time and unstructured time. We have built opportunities to connect with colleagues, transfer knowledge and motivate one another to move forward, together.

We have programmed workshops and panels that will ignite deep discussions and future-proof our federation with strong leadership.

Just like the Red River that flows through Winnipeg, our movement is in motion, meeting challenges and finding our flow, together.

Here’s what we have planned:

Day 1 – Tuesday, June 6

  • Kicking off our Convention with a special guest, a blast from our beautiful past, not to be missed!
  • Diving into a deep review of our new Quality Assurance Program and all the ways it will fuel our BIG future.

  • Evening fun with a special Night at the Museum just for us!

DAy 2 – Wednesday, June 7

  • Starting our day with exploring how we engage with diverse communities via a Human Rights Keynote.
  • Ending our day with a Crisis Communication simulation exercise.
  • Then we celebrate what truly makes us UNSTOPPABLE, the Network, in our very first ever, ‘Celebration of YOU Event’ where we will relax, laugh and energize each other. It’s a BIG night but it’s not a gala!
  • Continuing the Brand Evolution conversation how we achieve this together.

Day 3 – Thursday, June 8
