Dear Comrades,

This important seminar will feature guest speakers invited from Veterans Affairs Canada as well as other agencies, to participate in presentations of interest and relevance to Branch Service Officers and their work.

Seminar registration will be held at Branch #18, on Sunday, September 8th, from 8:00 to 9:00am with the seminar to commence immediately following registration. A schedule of speakers is currently being finalized and will be made available at a future date.

Branches within District “A” may send their Service Officer, as well as any other interested members. Please note only the Service Officer, or someone taking that person’s place, may be reimbursed from the Branch Poppy Fund for expenses relating to the Seminar. However, please note that the Poppy Chairman may attend one Service Officer Seminar per year and would be reimbursed for expenses relating to the Seminar.

Seminar participants are advised to make their own personal overnight accommodations, if necessary. Kindly refer to the accommodation below.
