Delegates will be responsible for personal amenities and additional charges to the room. To make special hotel accommodations, please contact Tracey. Non-member guests and children are welcome.
• Mileage and transportation costs - Manitoba COPP will cover travel costs to and from the conference. The mileage covered will be based on standard government rates. Other transportation, such as flights, will need to be coordinated through Manitoba COPP. Please contact Tracey to make those arrangements.

You may request additional banquet tickets when you register online. Payment must be received at time of registration. Cheques will be accepted and are payable to Manitoba COPP.

Agenda

We'll have a formal agenda prepared for the conference, but here’s an overview of what it’s all about…

Take a gamble
Join us Friday evening anytime after 7:00 p.m. in the banquet room at the Hilton Suites Winnipeg Airport Hotel. You can get yourself signed in for the weekend, and at 8 p.m. Casino Night starts. CB Casinos & More from Brandon has a fun night planned for us to try our luck at their Black Jack Tables, Roulette Wheels, Slot Machines, Horseracing Game and Laser Shooting Gallery. If you’ve been to one of their events, you’ll know it’s a lot of fun and a good fundraising opportunity. Bring your money to exchange for play money…and at the end of the evening you might win a great prize! The money we raise will go to a great charity. We’ll also have some snacks and drinks to help keep you going.

Happy 20th Anniversary COPP!
Saturday we’ll start with breakfast (8 – 9 a.m.), followed by an overview of what’s happened with the program since last year, as well as a look at how COPP is doing in Manitoba. We’ll look back at the past 20 years, as well to the next 20! Groups are welcome to have a display of photos, news clippings and memorabilia for us to enjoy.

Get in the know
After lunch the break-out sessions will take place from 1:30 – 4 p.m. (You can select two choices from the four listed on the form). There will be a bit of time after that to get ready for the evening reception and banquet.

Time to celebrate
The reception starts at 5:30 p.m. and the dinner will begin at 6:30. Between delicious dinner courses, we’ll award some wonderful people and shower everyone in some well-deserved volunteer recognition.

Annual general meeting
On Sunday morning, we hope that as voting members of COPP, you’ll be able to join us for breakfast and take part in a brief Annual General Meeting.

It’s done!
