The 2018 Annual General Meeting and Conference will be held in Hope on the weekend of June 1-3. The conference will take place in the banquet room of the Hope Golf & Country Club located right beside the Coquihalla River in Hope.

Hope is nestled at the base of the Coast Mountains Range with easy access to the North Cascades at Manning Park. The area offers great birding in the lowlands, adjacent valleys, and nearby alpine areas. We plan to explore them all. Field trips are planned for the Cheam Wetlands, Thacker Marsh, Silver Lake, Hope Airpark, and Manning Provincial Park.

Mark your calendars. On-line registration opens on April 1, 2018 and will remain open until the cut-off date of May 20.

Full details about registration will be published here, and in the Events section.

We look forward to seeing everyone there.

The pre-conference trip will visit the Princeton area, while the post conference extension trip will go to the Williams Lake area to explore some of the great birding locations found there. Details of the three events will be in the March issue of BC Birding as well as on the web site.
