A new direction
The CLPNA Education Forum was developed in response to feedback from LPNs, especially the overwhelming and enthusiastic participation in the CLPNA’s one-day workshops and webinars.
The format is a significant change from the previous annual event, the CLPNA’s AGM & Conference. That 2.5-day gathering was held for nearly 30 years in locations around Alberta and featured an Awards Dinner, Silent Auction, and multiple vendors.
