AFWA News
We are only four weeks away from IFAJ2023! It’s hard to believe and IFAJ 2023 chairs Annemarie Pederson, Trevor Bacque and Jessika Guse have been working hard to bring an incredible Congress to Alberta. The event is now 95 per cent sold, so if you have not registered yet, please go to the IFAJ registration page.
Other exciting news: IFAJ 2023 just announced Jody Wilson-Raybould as one of our keynote speakers for July 1st, 2023. She will kick off the professional development session that day, that focuses on Confronting the Reality of Colonial Legacies.
More information is available at the Congress website: IFAJ2023.
