2017 EAST KOOTENAY EARLY YEARS CONFERENCE

It is with great pleasure that the planning committee welcomes you to the 2017 East Kootenay Early Years Conference. We are very excited about this year’s inspiring and educational program. The conference is hosted by East Kootenay Children First/Success By 6. The planning committee is made up of regional service providers that work directly with children and families. Committee members have worked to ensure this is an educational and fun conference. We are particularly excited about the Pre-Conference offering this year – Trauma Informed Practice Training on Friday, April 28, by Dr. Linda O’Neill. We are very grateful to have the conference in such a beautiful area, and would like to honour and give thanks that we are on the traditional territory of the Ktunaxa, specifically Aqam First Nation. We also would like to acknowledge and thank Herman Alpine, Ktunaxa Elder who will be doing the welcoming prayer. Our goal for the conference is to empower, educate and connect participants. We have collectively put together a program that will provide opportunities for professional development for those who work with young children and families in child care settings, family resource programs, primary school educators, community development and other community programs. The conference will also be of interest to parents, grandparents, caregivers and those looking to make a positive impact in children’s lives. We are excited to invite you to come and discover how to “Imagine, Nurture and Grow” with us this April.
