Our annual gathering takes place alongside the CICan annual congress. Pre-congress events include a networking social and keynote speaker on Saturday, April 22 and a morning session of professional development on Sunday, April 23. Please check out our website gpop.ca for more information.
At this time, we are predominantly an English-speaking group; however, we hope as the diversity of our membership grows that we will be able to operate in both official languages. GPOP is a great forum for exchanging ideas and sharing best practices. Only those who support Board of Governors and Presidents and are members of GPOP may register. New members are always welcome!
