Meal options at the Saskatoon Inn fokr Friday supper. Convention schedule (added February 20th).
Keynote Speaker
Our Keynote Speaker will be Diana Waring. Diana Waring, author of Beyond Survival, Reaping the Harvest and the History Revealed curriculum published by AiG, discovered years ago that "the key to education is relationship." Beginning in the early 80's, Diana homeschooled her children through high- school—providing the real life opportunities to learn how kids learn. Mentored by educators whose focus was to honor Him who created all learners, and with an international background (born in Germany, university degree in French, lifelong student of world history), Diana has been enthusiastically received by audiences on four continents.
