The Western Ontario Wardens’ Caucus presents the conference with a goal of providing relevant, dynamic programming and opportunities to share knowledge and best practices to enhance opportunities and successes, along with many opportunities for networking.  With four streams (Housing, Workforce, Mental Health & Addictions and Economic Development), we have a great line-up of sessions of interest for all our delegates.
