27^th Annual Conference - June 5^th to 7^th, 2011

The Westin Ottawa, 11 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario

Performance, Predictability and Proactivity

The theme of CCAT’s 27th Annual Conference is based on three “Ps” that provide a clear vision for tribunal excellence – Performance, Predictability and Proactivity.

Tribunal performance means that the tribunal is accountable for quality and for productivity. The Performance plenary and workshops will consider issues such as performance evaluations, service standards and other means of achieving excellence.

Tribunal predictability in decisions and case processes requires consistency and communications, and this will guide everyone to act in an efficient and fully-informed manner. The Predictability plenary and workshops will consider issues such as cohesive reasons, pre-hearing disclosure and privacy expectations.

Tribunal proactivity means that more issue will be settled earlier and the tribunal will have more control of the process. The Proactivity plenary and workshops will focus on issues such as better communications and stakeholder relationships, running a focused hearing, proactive pre-hearing processes and innovative use of technology.

The CCAT Conference is the highlight for Canada’s administrative justice community, with over 300 participants from federal, provincial and territorial tribunals and agencies. It is an event that helps to define the administrative justice community in Canada, and it is an invaluable opportunity to learn best practices, to network and to keep updated with the latest trends and concerns.

The detailed conference program will be available in late February early March 2011.

We look forward meeting you at the conference!

The conference co-chairs,

Gary Yee, Chair, Social Benefits Tribunal, Toronto, Ontario
