Reminder...if you put a session into your schedule, this DOES NOT mean you are registered for this session and guaranteed a spot. It only means you are interested in that session during that time block and it will show up in your schedule. Please arrive with enough time before your session to find a spot, especially if you think the session will be popular. MHC does not permit us to go over capacity in classrooms and we are NOT able to move chairs/desks in from other rooms. Please respect the "This Session is Full" sign on the door if you see them displayed.
Please make sure to note if your session requires pre-registration, cash or is off campus!
We have finalized Friday 1:00pm - 2:00pm Keynote. Please watch social media for hints and clues on who it could be to WIN some FUN prizes!
Parking at the College is free to anyone, anytime. This means there is no need to register your car to park during convention. A reminder that there are limited spots so please carpool with others when possible. Also, please ensure you are parking in designated parking areas so you are not ticketed for being illegally parked!
Of course the cafeteria will be open with a full menu! REMEMBER...MHC is CASHLESS!

Message from ATA Conventions regarding inclement weather and safe travels...
“On the two school days of your assigned teachers’ convention, you have a legal and professional responsibility to attend Convention. If you are not able to make it safely to your assigned convention, however, your collective agreement may include impassable roads or inclement weather clauses that you can access. If your collective agreement does not include language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave clauses of your agreement in most cases. Please be aware that using any of these types of leave may require you to pay substitute costs, forego a portion of your salary and benefits, or report to your school or another work location in your district. Refer to your collective agreement for more information. Should you require any additional information or if you need assistance interpreting your collective agreement, please contact Teacher Employment Services at 1-800-232-7208 or 780-447-9400.”
In this session, teachers will learn the essential steps for planning and executing successful field trips that enhance student learning and engagement. From creating detailed itineraries and securing permissions to managing budgets, transportation, and parent involvement, participants will gain practical tools and strategies for organizing educational and meaningful trips. The session will also cover how to tie field trips into curriculum goals, manage student engagement during downtime, and explore local trip ideas such as visits to the Crowsnest Pass, the Skills Canada Competition, Jube School and local gems that one might not have previously considered for educational purposes.
