There are upcoming conferences and training opportunities that you may want to mark on your calendars to help you with planning your professional development:

Early Years Conference 2010 (February 4th – 6th, 2010) in Victoria, British Columbia has been finalized.

An electronic PDF copy of the advanced notice is available on their website by clicking the link above.

The conference will explore early childhood, family and community development through the lens of Child Rights. The U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (1990) articulates various inherent human rights that should be afforded to children. Policies designed to support and provide general and specific services to children and their families, should reflect these rights in order that all children may reach their full potential in society. Conference participants will have the opportunity to consider research, policy, and practice from a child’s rights perspective in order to further the quality of their work with children, families and communities. 

If you wish to obtain a printed copy of the advanced notice, they may be requested by contacting their office: Telephone: (604) 822-7524 or Toll-free within BC:  1-877-328-7744; by Fax: (604) 822-4835 or via E-mail:  ipad@interchange.ubc.ca.
