Join us in 2005 in Ontario for Creating Ripples: Education, Environment, and Culture, an exciting opportunity for forging new connections, staying current with on-going research, and sharing our experiences. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Camp Tawingo and the vibrant fall colours of Ontario's Haliburton Highlands, this year's conference promises to be a huge success.

Joining our provincial partners, The Council of Outdoor Educators of Ontario (COEO) and The Ontario Society for Environmental Education (OSEE), Creating Ripples will give delegates the opportunity to take part in lectures, activites, field trips, and presentations organzied along the following strands: Ethics, Leadership, Community Engagement, Outdoor Experiences, Critical Reflection, and Global Education.

Conference sessions will be rounded out by an exciting line up social activities and a resource-laden exhibit hall that will showcase the latest products, programs, and not-for-profits organizations.
