beckons, as the Canadian Catholic School Trustees’ Association (CCSTA) prepares for the 50th Annual General Meeting and Convention on June 3-5, 2010. The theme for the convention is 50 Years – A Legacy of Faith, celebrating CCSTA’s journey in providing a forum for each trustee to celebrate the many relationships and partnerships that make Canadian Catholic Education such a precious treasure.

The Convention will be held in the historic Fairmont Château Laurier Hotel, a world-famous establishment overlooking the Ottawa River and the Parliament Buildings. Ottawa is a city without parallel in early June. The streets are awash with culture - picturesque waterways, magnificent tulip gardens, fine dining and entertainment, and quiet scenic drives and bike paths, provide leisure activities for all. Did we mention food?  Ottawa is known for its cosmopolitan eateries - delegates and guests will enjoy a fusion of unique local, Canadian and international flavours. 

This year’s planners have put together a program to suit a variety of tastes. If you have never been to one of CCSTA’s conventions, you will find an edifying mix of keynote speakers who will engage and inspire. You will be charmed by our student performance at the Opening Ceremony, and the uplifting choral groups during the convention. Our entertainment program will have you standing on your feet so come prepared to shake, rattle and roll, or simply be entertained.

And finally, the convention will conclude with a Eucharistic Celebration at Notre-Dame Basilica on Sussex Drive, followed by a Gala banquet and entertainment in the Château Laurier Ballroom. 

This website will keep you up-to-date with all of the resources you need to prepare yourself for this special event. Come to celebrate, to learn, to see old friends and make new ones……..but come!
50 Years - A Legacy of Faith promises to be a momentous occasion.
