We seek to bring together a diverse mix of individuals from a variety of sectors, and we encourage participants to enrich the Institute with their unique experience, and the issues and ideas that matter to them the most.
Participants include representatives of community organizations, businesses, funders
and national, provincial and regional governments.
The Communities Collaborating Institute focuses
on collaborative approaches to community renewal, making
connections, inspiring learners, and on forming an ongoing
learning community.

We will be arranging pre-learning opportunities by sending you material that you can read and also we will host pre-event tele-learning sessions giving you the opportunity to engage with Thought-leaders prior to the event.
The conference officially starts at 9am on Monday, but we are doing registration in the hotel starting at 7:30am. On Sunday night we will also be doing some early registration, and we will announce the time for that closer to the conference date. As for Friday, we plan to close at 12:00 noon to allow lots of time for you to find lunch and catch your plane home.

Yes, if you want it! We have designed an urban
retreat with optional, informal activities in the morning
and evening outside of formal sessions. We hope they will
rejuvenate you and help you learn and connect with your peers
in different ways, but it’s your choice if you prefer
to skip them in favour of more time on your own. View the Institute program for more details.

Contact us at cci@tamarackcommunity.ca if we can assist you in exploring room sharing - we will make a list available of participants who are looking for roommates to share accommodations for the event.
