We are delighted to confirm that we will have a Ministry Update at the ASPECT Conference on Friday, November 6 at noon. Joining us virtually will be Chris Brown, Assistant Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, and Bindi Sawchuck, Assistant Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training. Please note that this session will not be recorded. If you would like to hear what they have to say, you will have to attend the virtual session live. 

Also, against my personal comfort, we have created a short welcome video for the ASPECT Conference next week. https://vimeo.com/473917847

Finally, at next week's members' meeting, we will take a moment to show the conference platform and answer any questions you might have. I've spent some time on the platform and it is very easy to navigate.

This is a challenging time, but like the sector we represent, here at ASPECT we are working hard to pivot and adjust. I think that the quality of presenters and topics offered at this year's Conference are outstanding. I hope you'll agree.
