education building prior to the conference just to see what other universities offer their students. Accommodations were amazing, and the security of the buildings was comforting. 11. The accommodations were excellent however we were very cold in our room and could not get this adjusted. People sharing the apartments had a common conversation area and could also invite visitors to join us in discussions. They were comfortable and roomy. It was wonderful to have cleaning service. A worthwhile support to the conference. Parking was somewhat inconvenient but we got exercise. The fact that it was free was a pleasant surprise. 12. It makes sense to have the event at the U of R which hosted it. However, I would suggest that next time, at least part of the events be held at the First Nations University building, since it is a gathering of Indigenous TEPS and the building is architecturally an inspiration. 6.

Comment Text 1. They were all amazing speakers - particularly found Henderson and Bouvier's speeches powerful in bracketing the symposium. 2. Felt it was a little rushed and I wanted to hear both questions answered at the same time so I could visit more TEP presentations, but overall they were well done and interesting. 3. I felt that every presentation had something great to think and ponder upon. All presentations were on task and gave the information needed. The only regret is that I would’ve liked to attend more TEP presentations as I only attended to 2 out of 9 so it would be good to attend more instead of staying in the same group all the time as some tended to repeat. 4. I was not able to attend the first night (I am taking classes). I wish I would have, though, as some 218 | P A G E
