Thank you to every delegate, speaker, exhibitor, and sponsor for making this year’s online event a success!
From October 5-7, 2021, ORCA CON encompassed new delegate activities, as well as popular programming from previous years. The event included fantastic keynote speakers, the ORCA Leadership Series, the ORCA Dragon’s Den competition, and much more! This year’s conference theme was “What’s Next – Senior Living of Tomorrow” and focused on the future of Ontario’s retirement community sector. The program took a deep dive into timely topics, including our sector’s workforce, business operations, and employee and resident well-being.
It was great to connect with our members online and learn together, and we can’t wait to do it again soon. We hope you are keeping safe, and we look forward to connecting with you at our next event. Stay tuned for ORCA’s Fall Webinar Series starting this November, and save the date for Together We Care 2022, happening April 4-6, 2022!
