ANWG 2019 Conference - Confluences
Now that the introductory offer for the book is over there is a bit of a lull before the actual books arrive so thoughts have returned to the conference.
If people are interested in attending I strongly suggest signing up for email updates if you haven't already as important announcements will be forthcoming in the new year.
We are very excited to present the ANWG conference in Prince George again. We did in in 1995 and here we are, holding it again.
For those guilds who say they are too small to host a conference? If you have the facilities, you can do it!
We are fortunate in having the Plaza with convention centre, library, art gallery and two major hotels all within a short walk of each other. We hope to utilize the plaza as well, but that will depend on the weather.
The conference will take place in mid-June so people can enjoy our long summer days. Our weather is generally mild, but we suggest bringing layers. There are plenty of restaurants in all price ranges within a short walk, with food services at both hotels, the White Spot across the street alongside a Tim Horton's. But there are others nearby and well worth checking them out. Many are listed on the website with the tourism info.
Do check out the website where there is information on the facilities and points of interest. If you have a spouse that enjoys hiking, there are walking trails within the city itself, but lots of trails within a relatively short drive of town. The Ancient Forest is a rare inland rain forest with trees estimated to be 1000 years old. The lower part is wheelchair accessible but the trail isn't terribly hard. Do stay on the walkways though to protect the forest floor.
There are lots of rivers, streams and lakes for water sports like canoeing or kayaking or fishing.
The Railway Museum has interesting artifacts (many collected or curated by my brother - just a little bragging! - I may ask to have the jacket I wove for him on display.) Exploration Place has interesting exhibits and the art gallery will host the teacher's exhibit in the Galleria.
Forms for exhibits, fashions show and author signing are available on the website with a deadline of April 1 for the first two.
Registration should go live sometime in January. By signing up for email updates, you will know as soon as it does.
We can accommodate 500. I'm hopeful we will sell out. Stay tuned for updates!
