Every October the Saskatchewan Hutterian Educators’ Association has a two day conference. A few Albertans attend this – but it is almost exclusively Saskatchewan Teachers.
The 2008 International Conference of Hutterian Educators is the 8th International Conference.
During the last 16 years colony teachers across North America have come together to share ideas and learn from each other. As you look at some of the memorabilia from past conferences; take tto look ahead to the new memories and experiences we will all have in Canmore in May 2008.
If you have any old photos - programs or memories of any of these conferneces please contact me so we can add to this page.

Austrian Grad Student has registered.
As of today March 2, we have over 300 registrations for the conference. Without a doubt Manuela, an Austrian Graudate student who is working on her Masters' Thesis will get the most frequent flier miles from her trip.
Good News (and Bad News)
The good news is that the Radisson Hotel knows we are coming. They know because we have filled the hotel. There are no more rooms available for May 1 and 2 - the nights of the conference.
The Quality Chateau Resort just down the street from the Radisson will be taking reservations for $$159 per night. Their phone number is 1 800 261 8551.
