[BCMA] Save the Date | LMME Conference 2026 – June 15

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Dear LMME Community,

We are writing to invite you to save the date for the 2026 LMME Conference.

Date: Monday, June 15, 2026
Locations: Burnaby Village Museum & Burnaby Art Gallery
Format: Full-day conference

This full-day conference will bring together informal educators from across
the Lower Mainland for a day of learning, exchange, and connection.
Get involved: Call for volunteers

As planning for the conference gets underway, we’re inviting volunteers to
get involved in two ways: joining the Conference Planning Committee or
supporting the event on the day of the conference.

At this stage, we are primarily collecting expressions of interest for
Planning Committee roles. If you’re curious but unsure about your
availability, we still encourage you to fill out the form:
https://forms.gle/BKkbyCqKmMDbQf79A

Filling out the form lets us know what you might be interested in — it does
not commit you to volunteering, and roles will be confirmed based on needs
and availability.

Important dates

   -

   Planning Committee interest deadline: February 1
   -

   Day-of volunteers: You may sign up now using the same form, or there
