AFTERNOON PLENARY: ‘Opening Doors: Creating Diverse and Inclusive Communities’

The afternoon plenary will shine a light on our conference theme: creating diverse and inclusive communities. Our five-member panel will inspire and challenge you with their success stories and their plans to build on those accomplishments here in BC.
