CONFERENCE INFO and SCHEDULE

In a country where the news is dominated by the latest hockey scores 
and the SARS outbreak - the Little Sister organizing crew is working to 
bring you something completely different for 3 days in May!

We don't have the conference schedule completely worked out yet, but 
here's a rough idea of what's going on. Workshops are not slotted in 
yet, but the planned workshops are listed below the schedule. There is 
still room for last minute workshops to be fit in, so if you have ideas 
for putting something together at the last minute, there will be room 
to put them forward.

The plenaries and most conference workshops will be taking place at the 
Britannia Community Centre which is located at Commercial Drive and 
Napier Streets. There will be some workshops taking place down the 
block at 101-1183 Odlum Drive.

We make no guarantees about providing food at the conference, but 
Commercial Drive is known for it's cheap places to eat. We will be 
providing more information on this depending on what type of food 
donations we receive from local businesses.

Child Care will be provided on site, please let us know in advance if 
you will need it by emailing info at littlesister2003.org.
