BUILDING FUTURES - Full Day Off-Site Event - Details, Directions & Parking - Students - Jan 7th, 2015

Attention All Professional Year B.Ed Students:

This is a reminder of the compulsory full-day off-site Professional Development Workshop held at Geneva Park Convention Center on Wednesday January 7th, 2015. ALL Professional Year B.Ed students are required to be in attendance.
ALL Professional Year EDUC courses regularly scheduled for Wednesday January 7th, 2015 will be cancelled, will be made up on: MONDAY MARCH 16th, 2015.
A Few Things To Remember About January 7th, 2015:
Registration Sign In For All Students:You must sign in at the registration desk in the lobby of the Centennial Centre when you arrive, where you will be given your program materials. The registration desk will be open from 8:30 to 9:00 am. 
Registration TIPS:

• If you received an online confirmation of the workshops you successfully registered for, in late October 2014 - PLEASE PRINT IT AND BRING IT WITH YOU.

• For those who did not complete the online registration by the communicated deadline, you must register manually for their workshops - please plan to be there by no later than 8:15am to manually register from the workshops that are still available

LOOKING FOR STUDENT VOLUNTEERS:Our Ministry partners are looking for 4 B.Ed students who would be willing to assist with the registration table, before the event begins. If you are interested, please send an email to Julie Howell ASAP.
What To Expect Following Mandatory Registration:The program will commence promptly at 9:00 am in the Auditorium. Please refer to the Building Futures website (www.ontario.ca/buildingfutures) for a copy of the agenda and further information about the day. Beverages and a light afternoon snack will be provided on the day.
Students must plan to bring their own lunch with them, for the day. There will be a designated area where students can have their lunch during the designated break.
Request Of Each Participant:Since the Ministry of Education is making every effort to organize greener events, your cooperation is greatly appreciated. We will not be providing paper handouts of the workshop presentations; instead, we ask you to bring your own pen and paper for taking notes.We also encourage you to bring your own beverage container (travel mug) to cut down on waste.
Parking at YMCA Geneva Park:
I thought it would be worthwhile to provide you with parking instructions since I'm not sure how well everyone knows the Geneva Park YMCA centre.
Their Address:
YMCA Geneva Park, 6604 Rama Road, R.R.#6 Orillia, Ontario, Canada, L3V 6H6
Directions For Parking:

• When you come into Geneva Park you will see the registration building (Centennial Centre) on your left.

• Keep driving past it while staying to your right. 

• You will drive right into the main parking lot which is first come, first serve. A parking pass is not required

• We ask that students carpool wherever possible, to ensure there is adequate parking for all.

• We also ask that any driver adhere to legal parking stalls within the available lots

Hope you enjoy the day.
See each of you there.

Regards,
Julie
