2020 BCSCA Provincial Conference
Due to the ever-changing circumstances of COVID 19 and the safety of our entire conference the BC School Counsellors Associations’ (BCSCA) 2020 Conference will be held virtually. We are most excited to have learned from other conferences that have successfully transitioned into a virtual conference so we are following suit.
Please ignore the April 2020 deadline. We are accepting proposals now June 2020 until further notice.
Please let us know if you are willing to present your workshop virtually. If you are unsure of how that could happen please let us know and we can help you brainstorm ways to make it successful. The conference I attended even had a basketball workshop which was successful. Delegates and organizers have reported many benefits to having a virtual conference such as:
- Delegates can attend in their jammies
- Parking is not an issue
- Presenters don’t have to travel
- Presenters can present from their own home
- Everyone gets their choice of food and drink
- Everyone has their own bathroom
- Everyone has a front-row seat
- No one has to worry about a chatty colleague next to them
- More spots per workshop
- Much better chairs
- Much better eco-footprint
The BC School Counsellors Association (BCSCA) 2020 Conference welcomes you to submit an abstract for presenting at our conference on OCTOBER 23, 2020. The 2020 conference theme is The Mind and Body Connection.

With each conference, we strive to bring together school counsellors, administrators, and community health professionals to share information about therapeutic techniques, skills, programs, practices, and policies related to school counselling at all levels. Our goal is to provide a conference that meets participants' interests and educational needs and also promotes community partnerships that will ultimately benefit counsellors, students, families, and communities.
