Circle of Light  (This conference provides an opportunity for provincial and First Nation educators, administrators and academics to come together and share effective practices that support the implementation of the Ontario First Nation, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) Education Policy Framework and First Nation, Métis and Inuit student success.)

The Lt. Gov. Lois E. Hole Inaugural Lecture  (In 2002 PSBAA launched the Lieutenant Governor Lois E. Hole Lecture in Public School Education, with Her Honour Lt. Gov. Lois E. Hole as the first lecturer.

The purposes of the annual lecture are:

1. To identify and honour individuals who are: making, or have made, an extraordinary contribution to the cause of public school education, and are constant and effective advocates on behalf of public school education

2. To provide an opportunity and a platform for recipients to speak on behalf of public school education to a large and receptive audience.

It is intended that the Lieutenant Governor Lois E. Hole Annual Lecture will identify issues significant to the future of Alberta's public school system as well as address successes and failures, strengths and challenges, and be non-partisan in its tone.

The annual lecture is expected to take account of the fundamental precepts unique to public school education — namely, that it is inclusive, as a matter of conviction, and by design, and
that it is a model of civil democracy, characterized by locally elected trusteeship, extensive public involvement, and respect for each person — student and adult.

It is intended that the Lieutenant Governor Lois E. Hole Annual Lecture will communicate an expression of hope for children, for parents, for local communities, and for public school education.
The Public School Boards' Association of Alberta will sponsor the annual lecture in conjunction with the Annual General Meeting of the Association.

In future years the Executive Committee will solicit the names of potential recipients and select a nominee to deliver the Lieutenant Governor Lois E. Hole Annual Lecture. The intention is to ensure that the annual lecture is of the highest calibre — both a fitting tribute to Her Honour and an exemplary presentation on behalf of public school education.)
