Canadian Police Chaplain Association 
Annual Training Seminar

Plans have come together to host an ATS in Vancouver, BC October 20 - 24, 2025. Our Planning Committee Chaired by CPCA - BC Region Director Bill Ashbee and assisted by Co-Chair Registrar Dave Field has been working diligently alongside our CPCA Liaison John Siderius to develop and organize an ATS to remember in beautiful downtown Vancouver. The Beatty St. Armory at 620 Beatty Steet is the host location. Hotel details (and link) can be found below.

 

The theme of our 2025 ATS is "Better Together" and will be a venue for some amazing presenters covering topics that will equip and challenge our law enforcement chaplains. Registration through Eventbrite is now available (see the link below).
