4th Week of January (already)

The OACAS Executive met on January 18 and 19th in Toronto.   We had several guests at our meetings.  On the Monday we were joined by Susan Pekilis and Richard Franz from the Student Success - Learning to 18 group.  One of the activities of this group is to review and update the SALEP regulations.  On Day 2 of our meeting we heard that we have a new Education Minister, Jennifer Young (PSAC) joined us for the morning as did Dr. Kathryn Bennett (McMaster University Researcher) and Kim Sorbara (Senior Policy Advisor Student Success).  More information about the Executive Meeting can be found inside the Members Only area.

We also heard that the Annual Conference will be held in Ottawa on June 6th - 9th, 2010.  The Conference will officially begin on Monday June 7th but many of us will arrive late in the afternoon on June 6th.  The conference is an excellent place to confer with colleagues from around the province.  The theme this year is "Partnering Up" and we will be staying at the Travelodge  - check out the facilities at:
