Hotel Information
Ottawa Marriott Hotel
Ottawa Crowne Plaza Keynote Speaker: Glen Murray
Featured Speakers
Over 1400 delegates from across Ontario and beyond attended the Conference this year. Delegates participated in over 75 conference workshops, 10 education courses, bus tours, networking dinners and social events during the 4-day event at the Toronto Sheraton Centre. 75 companies were present at the 2-day trade show and over 200 speakers from around the world presented on workshop topics ranging from "The New Affordable Housing Program" to "Tenant Activities on a Shoestring." The ONPHA Awards were presented with fanfare; at the Plenary session on Sunday our new Minster of Housing, Hon. Jim Watson, was welcomed by over 1000 Ontario housing providers. 1060 delegates stayed for the Gala Banquet on Monday night where they were entertained by Martin Dube, a five-octave singing impersonator. Initial feed back from participants is that it was another successful, educational, and fun event. "Topical subjects and interested and interesting speakers." |
