“We’re grateful Minister Lake will be joining us for the Third Annual Minister’s Luncheon to carry on the conversation,” says Daniel Fontaine, CEO for the BCCPA. “Over 400 people were in attendance at our sold out event last year. You’ll want to buy your tickets early to ensure you don’t miss out on this great networking and dialogue opportunity.”
During the recent BCCPA conference held last month, Dr. Darryl Plecas, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health for Seniors, provided the welcome address to a crowd of almost 500 conference delegates and industry stakeholders. In his remarks, Dr. Plecas outlined for delegates his government’s priorities when it comes to the provision of seniors support services.
Sales for both tables and individual tickets will open in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more information, or click here to signup for our free daily e-newsletter service which provides you with the latest information on all our upcoming events.
