FAQs
How do I find out more about workshops?
More information can be found here: Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada - AGM (chfcanada.coop)
How do I register more than one person from my co-op? Do we have to
register all at once?
If you are registering more than one person from your co-op, you will
need to register each of them separately. When you complete the first
registration, you will see a button to “Register another”
participant.
If, at a later date, you would like to register more members from your
co-op or organization, you can do so. The system will recognize your
history when the next person is registered.
If you are registering someone else besides yourself, please answer
all questions as accurately as possible on their behalf.
Each participant registered from your co-op or organization must have
a unique email address.
Do I have to register for my workshop at the same time as I register for the Annual Meeting generally? Can I add those choices later?We encourage you to select your workshops when you register to ensure you get your top picks. You can choose them at a later date, but as they fill up quickly, you may lose access to your top choices.
I've already registered - how do I add my workshops or change my workshops?

What is the difference between a CMC and MEF ?
Co-operative Management Conference (CMC): Workshops and events
available only to co-op staff and management.
Member Education Forum (MEF):Workshops and events designed for co-op
members. Co-op staff and managers may also attend these workshops.
How are roles at the Annual Business Meeting determined?
If your co-op is a voting member of CHF Canada, you must first
register a Delegate before you can register additional attendees in
other registration types.
If you are unable to select the Delegate or Alternate option, it means
someone from your co-op/organization may have already registered in
that role (limit of one Delegate and Alternate per
co-op/organization).
How do I make changes to my registration?
The deadline for changing your registration or aspects of your
registration by email or phone is May 20. After this date, all changes
will have to be made at Conference Services on site at the Delta
Hotel.
What does Virtual Attendance for the Annual Business Meeting Only
entail?
To help encourage greater accessibility and reduce carbon emissions,
we are offering co-ops the opportunity to register virtually. This
option provides you with the ability to vote and participate online as
your co-op’s delegate in the Annual Business Meeting, taking place
from 10:30 am – 4:00 pm on Saturday, June 8. Attendees will be able to
watch a livestream of the business meeting, vote, and ask questions
online. This option does not include access to any other events of the
Annual Meeting. If your co-op registers a Virtual Delegate, they will
not be able to register a second Delegate to vote on site, and
vice-versa.
