Empowerment Day 2024 is back at the Sleeman Centre on May 2, 2024

Please mark your calendars. Sorry for the delay on this message as it is usually out a little sooner. I can assure you that we have been working hard behind the scenes on a couple improvements to Empowerment Day this coming year. 

There is more information to come however this is what we can share now:

Where: Sleeman Centre

When: May 2, 2024

Time: 10am - 1:45pm

Who: Grade 6-8 UGDSB students/teachers

New This Year:

1. Who's speaking  -  ????????????

With this being Empowerment Day's 10-year anniversary, we are calling back some of our favourites from the past. You will not know who is coming until you get there, but guess' are always welcome. Trust us, this event is going to be EPIC!

 

1. Free Admission - Thanks to some generous sponsorship we are able to make this

event free of charge for schools. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR SEATS. However, you will still have to pay for your busing (We are looking into ways to offset some of the busing cost for schools travelling from further distances). 

 

1. Website - in the new year teachers and administrators will have access to a new 

Empowerment Day Website (thanks to Megan Sicoli). This will give you all answers needed to have a smooth and impactful day including all seating and busing instructions, POST lesson plan activities, Agenda for the day, past speakers (to take your best guess), and of course your opportunity to sign up your school.

 

1. Motto this year - CELEBRATE EMPOWERMENT

In the new year, I will be emailing everyone 2 weeks in advance to let you know when registration will open. The link will come live on the website on this day.  It will be first come, first serve to schools as always.

We are looking forward to sharing an amazing, inspiring, EMPOWERING day with all of you!

30-45 min visit from Natasha Skeritt and Emma Raey.
