OPSBA’s 2023 Public Education Symposium (PES) will be held from January 26 to 28 at the Sheraton Centre, Toronto. We look forward to welcoming new and returning trustees in-person. 

PES is OPSBA’s premier professional development experience where public school board trustees from across the province learn, collaborate and connect. This year’s symposium theme is Optimism and Opportunity

We have a number of exciting speakers scheduled, including Chief Cadmus Delorme (Cowessess First Nation), Roda Muse (Secretary General, The Canadian Commission for UNESCO) and Dr. Nicholas Christakis (Professor of Social & Natural Science, Yale University). We’ve developed workshops for trustees new and returning with topics such as Governance, Indigenous Learning, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion, Communications and more! 

Trustees, Directors of Education, Supervisory Officers, Student Trustees and other education stakeholders are all warmly encouraged to attend PES.
