October 3-5, 2017 at the Prestige Hotel and Convention Centre, Vernon, British Columbia
The symposium will focus on collaborative approaches to managing a complex landscape: the plateau east of the Okanagan Valley which supplies drinking and irrigation water, supports timber, recreation, wildlife and grazing activities all in close proximity to the urban areas of the Okanagan.
The B.C. Chapter invites you to join us for what will be an interesting, inspiring and insightful time. We hope to incorporate a little fun and friendship into our professional development setting.

Driving directions: the Prestige is on the east side of Hwy 97 on the north side of Vernon. Turning in can be tricky. Coming north get in the right lane and turn prior to the buildings. If you miss that you have one more chance just past the buildings, but it is a hard right turn. Coming south on Hwy 97 there is a left turn lane just prior to the buildings. Map.
