The Ministry of Children and Family Development is supporting this year’s BCFPA AGM and Conference. Bursaries will be given to foster caregivers in each service delivery area which will cover the cost of your AGM registration fee ($350 value). Winners of full bursaries will also receive a cheque to assist with expenses such as mileage, hotel accommodation, parking, meals, and childcare. The cheque will be available to bursary winners at the AGM. The amounts will vary as we have implemented a fair and equitable process based on the location of the AGM & Conference.
