Connecting Leaders is the BCPVPA’s major conference held around the provincial non-instructional day in October. After a two-year hiatus, it will be revived in 2018 as an annual regional conference with a focus on a major leadership theme connected to the BC education transformation initiative.

The 2018 conference will be held in Nanaimo, October 18-20 and features both Dr. Simon Breakspear and Roy Henry Vickers.
