TESTIMONIES

"Honestly a 5 star conference! Love, love, loved it! Thank you! We as a couple so needed this.

Please host more conferences."  

—  Couple from Saskatoon, SK

Do we have to stay at the conference hotel? Or can we stay at home and commute?

We highly recommend that you take some time away as a couple to BREATHE, relax and enjoy the Marriage Conference by staying overnight. If you are not able due to certain circumstances, then do your best to get the most of your time together by minimizing distractions. Be intentional by clearing your schedule, avoid checking emails, find someone to help you with your children, etc. This is a special time for you and your spouse to focus on each other and your relationship.

Will childcare be provided? 

We are unable to provide childcare during the conference.  We ask that children not be brought to the conference as this is intended to be a special time away for couples to focus on each other. Nursing infants are welcome. We will be recording and filming the speakers at this event; therefore we ask that crying infants be taken out of the conference room. There are many areas in the suited for nursing moms.

What is the “date night” on the Conference schedule?

The conference ends at 5pm on Saturday. Saturday evening is designated as a “date night”. We recommend that you and your spouse take some time to unpack the conference by going for a special dinner and a fun evening out. 

What will the sessions include? 

Talks by the speakers, engaging audio and video clips, and time for short conversations between you and your spouse. 

Is it possible to register for only part of the conference? What is the cancellation policy?

We do not offer a discount for partial registrations.

If you are unable to attend due to illness, registration fees will be refundable minus a $50 per couple cancellation fee. If you prefer, we can transfer your cancelled registration fee and apply it to a future Marriage Conference. If you are unable to attend, please let us know by calling 306-369-2220 or email: marriageandfamily@catchat.ca
