2021 Virtual Bordering on Disaster Conference
The annual Bordering on Disaster Conference aims to support and connect emergency management professionals within Alberta and Saskatchewan. After hosting five, highly successful events, the Bordering on Disaster conference has grown from a half-day event to a full-day event and now a week-long virtual celebration. Sponsored by Cenovus Energy, the City of Lloydminster is proud to present this year's virtual Bordering on Disaster Conference from September 13-17.
Due to COVID-19, and the ongoing need to stay physically distant, the 2021 conference will be held via the Zoom platform. This will enable the conference to reach far beyond the local borders of Lloydminster and allow for an enhanced connection through the Canadian emergency management industry. Ticket sales close September 12, 2021.
| Who Attends? |
| This conference is largely attended by municipal and rural municipality representatives, emergency service personnel (RCMP, fire, paramedic), along with industry, non-profit, education and transportation professionals. But, anyone with an interest is invited to attend. |
