Important Note: To honour and respect the presenters and other conference delegates, please arrive promptly for your registered workshop. You are welcome to socialize in the cafeteria to ensure that workshops and activities in progress are not disrupted.
Delegate Support
Some of the topics covered during the conference may raise emotional issues for delegates. Throughout the conference delegates will have access to an Elder for counselling and support. In addition, remember to access resources within your community should issues arise following the conference.
Sport/Gymnasium Activities
Delegates participating in any of the activities in the gymnasium are required to wear non-marking running shoes.
Adult Chaperones
Adult Chaperones are registered participants. The Dreamcatcher Conference Steering Committee respectfully requests that adult chaperones assist in ensuring adequate supervision of youth by observing the following guidelines:
- ensure the youth attend sessions rather than congregating in hallways during session hours
- adult Chaperones are asked to register in hotel rooms adjacent to their youth delegates where possible and to support the youth in respecting the needs of other hotel guests
Youth Conduct
To get the most out of Dreamcatcher we ask that:
- during conference hours attend your designated sessions
- inform your chaperone of your whereabouts
- move quietly through the hallways as there are classes/sessions taking place
- respect the conference facilities by walking, not running, through the hallways and stairwells and by not littering
- respect the drug and alcohol free environment of the conference, both at conference events and in your hotel
- mind your belongings
Respect
Respect for yourself and others is important. By using appropriate language, encouraging remarks and following the instructions of adult chaperones, volunteers, session presenters or conference staff you are showing respect for yourself and others.

NO Ifs, Ands, or Butts! Smoking is prohibited on all MacEwan campus grounds, except in designated areas. For more details and locations of Designated Smoking Areas please download the attached Brochure.
