The conference offers a hybrid model with both in-person and virtual attendance options; virtual guests can join from anywhere with an Internet connection for full access via Zoom, or via landline for audio-only access. If attending virtually, you will receive the Zoom link and call-in details by email, and a mailout package including an AGA Welcome Kit and workshop materials.
To register someone else for the conference, you must be the Head of your Chapter or Council.
After creating your own portal account and confirming your own contact information, you will have the option to register others.
Each membership group, which includes Chapters & Councils, will receive 4 membership seats at the Annual General Assembly (AGA).
Of these 4 seats, 1 seat must be occupied by a Regular Member who is a youth (Indigenous women, resident of Ontario, between the ages of 18 & 30). To register any delegates for the AGA, Chapters & Councils must be members in good standing.
All delegates attending the conference, whether online via Zoom or in person, count towards these totals
We will be emailing delegates to ask their workshop preferences, and will use these wherever possible. However, due to restrictions on the number of people allowed in each physical breakout room, in-person attendees may be moved to a different Workshop session due to space restrictions.
The ONWA's 54th AGA & Leadership Conference is being held at the Delta Hotels Ottawa City Centre:
• For approved in-person delegates, travel arrangements will be made by ONWA on their behalf using the most cost-effective options.
• The registration process includes a section where delegates can indicate if they require transportation to be booked, as well as the details needed to make those bookings.
• Expense forms for other forms of eligible travel expenses will be available at the main registration desk during the conference.
For more information about reimbursement, please contact membership@onwa.ca.
No, this year there won’t be a Gala Evening, but we will do encourage in-person delegates to bring cash for the basketeers raffle and so that they can purchase our new tokens for the Indian Auction! Click here for more information.
