Conference 2010

The National Educational Association of Disabled Students (NEADS) is pleased to announce our 2010 national conference, “Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow.” It will take place at the Delta Winnipeg Hotel from November 12-14, 2010. The conference will focus on solutions to drive change.

This year’s event will be an exciting opportunity for students, consumer advocates, service providers, employers and all others interested in exploring key issues of equal access to post-secondary education and employment for students and graduates with disabilities. We welcome delegates from across Canada and around the world. The 2010 conference is being organized by a Conference Planning Committee, comprised of NEADS board members.

NEADS wishes to acknowledge BMO Capital Markets' Equity Through Education Program's support of the Job Search Strategies workshop, which is one in a series of forums being held across the country from 2005 – 2011.

The Association gratefully acknowledges grant funding support from the Government of Canada.

Message from Mayor Sam Katz On behalf of the City of Winnipeg, I would like to take this opportunity to offer my warmest greetings to all attending the “Learning Today- Leading Tomorrow” biennial national conference being hosted by the National Educational Association of Disabled Students. “Learning Today- Leading Tomorrow” promises to be educational as it provides information for individuals and organizations supporting youth and families in achieving access to post-secondary education for students with disabilities. Bringing together participants from across Canada, this conference will provide a superb opportunity for conversation, collaboration, and innovation. I hope that our visitors will experience the warm hospitality that Winnipeg offers and take the time to explore some of our City’s many attractions. Winnipeg is a vibrant city that offers a variety of restaurants and entertainment, exciting shopping destinations, and a host of cultural and sporting activities. We truly have something for everyone. On behalf of my esteemed City Council colleagues and all the citizens of Winnipeg, welcome to our great city.
