MLEOA 2026 ANNUAL TRAINING AND SEMINAR

Sunday September 13th to

Thursday September 17th, 2026

REGISTRATION OPENING SOON!

 

The MLEO 2026 Annual Training Seminar is being hosted at the Holiday Inn Kanata, located minutes from Historic Downtown Ottawa.  

The 2026 Annual Training Seminar will be hosting a variety of seminars directly related to an MLEO's role and field duties.  The week opens with our Key Note speaker, Sylvie Rimback presenting on conflict resolution and problem solving in the work place, along with other presentations including, surviving Mental Health and PTSD, providing customer service in a hostile environment and co-existing with wildlife, just to name a few. 

Along with the daily seminars, there will be ample networking opportunities for members including the Sunday night meet and greet, where returning members and new members can mingle with each other and the Board of Directors, all while enjoying a social drink and a few hors d'oeuvre.  On the Monday night, join us on a true Canadian journey while we enjoy dinner and a show at "OH Canada Eh?", a truley Canadian experience that's a must see.

The Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday afternoon; members are encouraged to sit in on this meeting to hear what your Board of Directors have accomplished throughout the year, as well as what is proposed for the upcoming year.  To complete the AGM, there will be the election for the three open Board positions, where voting will be done at this time to elect the new 2026-2027 Board of Directors.  

Following the 2026 Annual General Meeting, the MLEOA President requests your attendance at the Annual Presidents Dinner, a semi formal event which includes a three course dinner, member recognitions for years of service, certification, professional values awards and OMMI enhancements.  And it doesn't end here, there is always entertainment, and this year you are sure to be wow'd by the likes of Ottawa Magician, Kevin Smith, one of Ottawa’s most entertaining up and coming illusionists. His passion for magic shines through in every performance, as he dazzles the mind and has his audience roll with laughter throughout his shows.
