Professional Development Conferences and Activities

At COFI’s Northern Operations Forest Education Program we are working hard to keep you, the classroom teacher, ‘plugged in’ to both local and professional development opportunities. We will source out and post a variety of conferences that you may be interested in. In some cases they will be suitable for your students to attend as well.

In addition to conferences, we will also post forest education professional development sessions hosted in your district or across north-central BC. These may be teacher tours or workshops to help you learn more about BC’s forest industry.

Discover more about each event by going to their listed websites. And check back frequently as the events will change from time to time.
