Innovations in Rural Education

Conference Sponsorship Opportunities The National Congress on Rural Education in Canada (NCREC) serves as the national forum for discussion of issues and sharing ideas to improve the delivery of programs and services in rural and remote schools in Canada. It is an annual event that has been held in Saskatoon since 1996.

The NCREC Sponsorship Program was initiated to provide additional support for the development of a high quality Congress program. Through this program, corporate organizations are offered an opportunity to be part of an event that supports a shared interest in the development of rural communities and schools.

The Program features Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsorship levels. The categories provide varying levels of visibility for the corporate sponsor. Sponsors may choose to target particular aspects of the Congress such as a breakfast, lunch, nutrition break, or student involvement activity that funds student participation in the Congress. Sponsorships are accepted in-cash or in-kind donations for services rendered to the Congress.
