The 33rd Annual CAPG Conference is Canada's only national Police Governance event. Virtual and in-person passes offer access to expert working sessions, plenaries and breakouts - with 33 years' worth of knowledge, experience, and best practices.
Join us for four dynamic days of governance discussions among senior officials from police boards and Canadian Policing leadership.
Network with people from all facets of policing: police board & commission members, service members, provincial and national association leaders, municipal leaders, legal experts and academics, community activists and subject matter experts on a wide range of topics.
Build stronger relationships and help move your organization forward to help meet today's challenges. You'll hear how others are tackling these challenges and looking to prepare for future changes in policing.
September 8-11 live from beautiful Saskatoon, this conference is your springboard to becoming a driving force in governance across Canada.
