9:55 a.m.
I'm checking with the rest of the organizing committee from ALS. I'm recommending
postponing & will let you know as soon as I know, later today. Feedback from this
group on postponing also welcome (thanks Erin for the suggestion to consider
postponing).
This is the message I sent out:
Friday is kind of falling apart. No live streaming, presenters possibly unable to get to
the event, good chance of low turnout due to weather. Should we cancel/postpone event?
I've checked with BCIT - they will waive the 80% room cancelation fee so there would
be no charge, catering can also be cancelled at no charge.
I would like to cancel/postpone the event - I don't think that we will get the
turnout/audience we were hoping for.

Hi Lin & all,
Oh no, sorry to hear that the livestreaming has been cancelled! I was personally hoping to
participate that way as I need to work from home that day (to look after childcare
drop-off/pick up while my husband writes an exam on Friday). The snow is indeed a bit of a
wildcard factor this week as well :-(
And yes, I'm absolutely happy to help out with sorting out logistics/details this
week. I need to get the final catering number to Tracy at BCIT by noon or so tomorrow and
I think Ali was planning to send the final registration tally to me then. I'll get in
touch with Ali & Ryan to let them know I'm happy to help with anything else as
needed this week as well.
Best wishes, Hope

Hello all,
The Friday event was coming together nicely. Now I've just received an email notice
that BCIT is cancelling the livestream became they can't find a camera operator for
that day, and the snow! I am wondering if a bunch of people will just not show up. Brenda,
I am also wondering if it is safe for you to drive in this weather?
Not sure if I'm just whining or if this is a desperate call for help and/or
reassurance.
Here are a few things:
- Is there a camera person out there? It is possible that Jasmit would still do live
streaming if he has a camera operator, i would need to check with him. However, with the
weather, I am concerned that if live streaming is an option, people just won't show up
and we do have the room costs and a few extra things to cover.
- It would be nice to have an appropriate catering order rather than way too much food -
we need a final number for the catering by noon tomorrow.
- is there someone who could bring a laptop and take care of making sure all the slides
are working (Jasmit was going to take care of that)
- I would like to be released from thinking of the logistics so that i can concentrate on
the program. Hope or Lindsay - do you have time to work with Alison Moore and Ryan etc. to
take care of details - sending notice that livestream is canceled, correcting BCOER to
BCOEL, getting a final confirmed number of participants, figuring out a final budget
etc.

Hi there everyone,
The email lin sent me yesterday with the program for the ALS meeting on Dec. 9 has
ALS/BCOER in teh title.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g4k3bBN_1YAxPK43HEapO7nyv29VHZdnuwwMN4i…
Can someone edit that file to read BCOEL? I have tweeted twice about it - we have
corrected it on the BCcampus calendar.
Please and thanks.
