For the first time in twenty-six years, OCASI is holding two professional development conferences in one year. This is a response to the extraordinary growth of our sector over the past few years. It is also a testament to the enduring success and popularity of the OCASI conference as the premier training and skills development opportunity for Ontario’s immigrant and refugee serving sector.

The Professional Development Conference provides an opportunity for staff from immigrant and refugee-serving agencies across Ontario to come together, network, share information about new initiatives, and exchange a wealth of expertise with each other in a relaxed and inspiring setting. Our sector is dynamic and always changing. This conference facilitates training and learning, equipping leadership and staff with the most current information and tools to deliver innovative, effective programs.

OCASI well knows that it is the hard work and enthusiasm of those working on the frontlines that is the foundation of the success of our sector. Together, let us all look forward to learning from each other and strengthening our mutual connections.

Sincerely,

Debbie Douglas
Executive Director
