March Conference Postponed
It is with much sadness that we are announcing this, but due to the current changing health environment we have made the decision to postpone March Conference/Escape. Along with this, the AGM will also be postponed until a later date to be set by the board. The health and safety of our members, alumni, and their families is our top priority. JFAO is currently monitoring local, provincial, and national health updates and guidelines, and it is due to these factors we feel it is in the best interest of JFAO to postpone this event until a later date. All attendees will be contacted in the very near future regarding the specifics of reimbursement and the new date for this event. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.PDF download.
