We are in the home stretch now and very excited to welcome all of the speakers and delegates to Regina! Only two weeks now until the 40th annual WILU begins…

 

There is still time to register for WILU 2011 – but hurry! Registration closes on Monday May 16. Register here: http://www2.uregina.ca/wilu2011/registration

Dine-arounds are a WILU tradition. On the evening of June 2nd we will continue this tradition! It is a chance to sample a Regina restaurant and get to know your fellow delegates – and each group will be hosted by a member of the 2011 WILU Organizing Committee. Sign up for the restaurant of your choice at the registration desk during the conference. Transportation will be provided to the restaurants but you will be responsible for your meal and making your own way to your accommodations afterwards. It should be a great night!
