MESSAGE FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIR
Our 2020 theme is Local and International Perspectives in Community Safety and Well-being. ACCPA membership comprises both rural and urban communities, police agencies, as well as Metis and Indigenous groups. Each year, as we plan the conference, we work hard to ensure that our sessions and topics are relevant to our target audiences.
An important component of our conference is a competition for post-secondary students with a focus on crime prevention. Students from the University of Alberta and MacEwan University will participate in the Safe Community Places Competition.
The Conference Planning Committee is committed to putting together a timely and thought-provoking agenda for you. We’ll be updating this site as our program comes together.
I hope you can join us in Edmonton May 4 – 7, 2020!
Warmest regards,
Mark Kay
Vice President
Chair, 2020 ACCPA Conference
Alberta Community Crime Prevention Association
