The Presentation Series Committee plans and implements information sessions which centre on the topics of inclusive education and advocacy. These sessions would be of interest to parents, teachers, professionals and paraprofessionals. Speakers for these sessions are selected based on their ability to provide information specific to the wants and needs of the ERC’s members and they must be in support of the ERC’s mission .
This committee is made up of volunteers who take an active role in its activities. New committee members are always welcome. The work of the committee is guided by the ERC’s Steering Committee.
The ERC’s member organizations support this work primarily by sharing information about upcoming presentations with their members, placing presentation information in newsletters, and by providing the volunteer manpower that is needed. *** Please note: There is no charge for any ERC presentation. Drop in - registration is not required. *** Upcoming Presentations:
