Typically, school members are student associations, or administration departments that are involved with campus activities programming, or student engagement. COCA also boasts more than 75 Associates, which are entertainers, booking agencies, artist management companies, and other valued business suppliers to the campus sector. Founded in 1982 as the successor to the Canadian Entertainment Conference, COCA has now completed more than thirty-five years of successful operation OUR MISSION The Canadian Organization of Campus Activities provides leading professional development for campus activities staff and student leaders dedicated to the enrichment of student lifeFor more information check out our brand-new website: COCA.ORG FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA @YOURCOCA S T U D E N T L I F E S U M M I T / / 0 4 BOARD CHAIR W E L C O M E HEY COCA FAMILY, So … they gave me a spot and have allowed me to write you all a message. Mostly I want to just say how honoured and privileged I feel to have been able to serve as your chairperson this year! I’ve been able to work with an amazing family of leaders from across the country! To try to name them all would be pointless, but weather you participated in the community as a member, or associate, completed a survey, volunteered to be on a committee, or just attended a zoom gathering, a huge thank you from myself and everyone associated with COCA. Welcome to the first (and hopefully the only) Student Life Summit to run virtually! As people who thrive with “in-person” contact, through the events we run, the clubs we manage or just working within a busy SU we know how tough it has been on everyone to make all the changes over the past few months and move so much of what we do to a digital format.I’d like to take a moment and welcome Josh Clark as our new Executive Director. Nobody involved with COCA over the past couple of decades could mistake Josh’s commitment to the Student Life community, even if you only heard his laugh in the background you could not miss him. He has been a huge part of this organization in so many ways, and has the respect of everyone he comes in contact with. I’d personally like to thank him for not only stepping into this role but also for how he has faced the challenges this past year has thrown at us all. His ongoing support to the board, the association and the community, with a long term vision of how to navigate this association into the future is appreciated by us all. Josh is a man armed with will and determination, and grace too. We all also need to acknowledge Whitney Piper, and the tremendous effort she has put forward in the past 2 months to step up and put this conference together. It’s been a pleasure watching your professional commitment to this summit, reforming committees, and moving the whole event digital in a less than ideal timeline, budget, and format. Your enthusiasm is contagious and simply put, this event would not have happened without you. Please take a moment out of your day to say thanks to Whitney, for whom, it seems, courage couldn’t have come at a worse time.The board had large goals this year, to do an Executive Director Search, launch a new website, and redesign the annual conference ... and we C R A I G B E R R Y / / also had to deal with coronavirus as well. We all need to thank the board this year, and in no particular order, Andy, Crystal, Ryan, C O C A C H A I R , U N I V E R S I T Y Gabrielle, Cody, Kelsey, John b., Justine, and John … you each embody the simple principal that there is no dress rehearsal, this is O F A L B E R T A our life. (and thank you all for allowing me a Gord Downie hat trick of references). One of the great things about COCA is that it really is a “family”, if you are facing any challenge in your role at your school, you can bet that someone within COCA has already faced it and is ready to share their solution with you. Finally, congratulations to everyone for taking the time to reconnect and learn together. By being here you have joined a community of hundreds of event, clubs and marketing professionals committed to learn, connect and grow together. Your friend, Craig- S T U D E N T L I F E S U M M I T / / 0 5 CONFERENCE CHAIR M E S S A G E WELCOME, North, South, East and West this is your first ever Student Life Summit Virtual Conference, powered by COCA. On behalf of the Canadian Organization of Campus Activities and myself, Whitney Piper would like to send a tremendous thank you to all who made this conference possible. I would also like to say welcome to anyone who is joining us for their first COCA conference, it’s a pleasure to have you. This year was a brand-new experience for us all. Having to adapt to the new “norm” has definitely had its learning curves. None of which could be done without the support of our associate members and volunteers putting in their own time to contribute to this conference. This year like the rest, we will feature artists and speakers from the best that the industry has to offer. All of us were forced to alter many aspects in our lives when the pandemic hit. Now more than ever we need to focus on making positive and meaningful experiences for the new wave of on-line learning and programming for all students.Like always, you’re encouraged to ask questions, make connections and participating W H I T N E Y P I P E R / / in everything COCA (from the comfort of your home). This year is unlike any other year. We will C O C A C O N F E R E N C E C H A I R , have people join us that have never experienced a COCA conference before. This is a great F L E M I N G C O L L E G E S A C opportunity to network on a whole other level. Please, take advantage of all the on-line education sessions, showcases and networking nights. I hope you all enjoy! Cheers, until we can all be together again!

    REMARKS PAMELA C. FRALICK PRESIDENT INNOVATIVE MEDICINES CANADA ECONOMIC CLUB OF CANADA The Life Sciences Industry of Tomorrow: Healthy Canadians, Healthy Future OCTOBER 31, 2017 OTTAWA, ONTARIO Check against delivery 55 rue Metcalfe Street | Suite/bureau 1220 | Ottawa ON | K1P 6L5 | 613-236-0455 | innovativemedicines.ca INTRODUCTION As some of you may know, I have had the privilege of a career leading health organizations - the ‘other side’ of the table, so to speak. Je suis donc bien consciente des tensions qui subsistent entre le secteur privé et le bien commun. I believe I am as aware as possible of the tensions that can exist between the private sector and a public good. I am committed to the idea and the ideal that the best solutions come from collaboration, constructive dialogue, healthy challenges and compromise. This will be the foundation and mainstay of my comments today and beyond. It is the vision of this association and its members to be the best partner possible, to contribute to creative solutions, and to share the weight of some of our most challenging concerns. Today, I’d like to take the opportunity to speak to four themes: 1. Our Economic Footprint: New data, 2. Research and Development: Our support for modernization of PMPRB, 3. Finding Middle Ground, and 4. Opportunities for Collaboration 1. ECONOMIC FOOTPRINT In May of this year, former federal Health Minister Jane Philpott delivered a much-anticipated speech at the Economic Club of Canada here in Ottawa. The speech was ambitious and far-reaching, and signaled, as the Minister said, “the most significant suite of changes” to Canada’s pharmaceutical drug regime in more than two decades.

  • COMEDIAN JO KOY to BRING JUST KIDDING WORLD TOUR to Toyota Arena on December 11, 2021
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Sue Oxarart – [email protected] COMEDIAN JO KOY TO BRING JUST KIDDING WORLD TOUR TO Toyota Arena ON December 11, 2021 Tickets Go On-Sale June 18, 2021 at Noon (Ontario, California June 14, 2021) ––– Due to overwhelming demand, Comedian Jo Koy will bring his Just Kidding World Tour to Southern California’s Toyota Arena. Tickets go on-sale Friday, June 18, 2021 at 12:00PM Noon. Tickets will be available to purchase at: TicketMaster.com or at the Arena Box Office. As one of today’s premiere stand-up comics Jo Koy has come a long way from his modest beginnings performing at a Las Vegas coffee house. The hugely relatable comic pulls inspiration from his family, specifically his son. In 2020, Koy kicked off the tour with a bang with four sold-out shows and selling over 25,000 tickets at both the Chase Center in San Francisco and The Forum in Los Angeles. He continues selling-out and breaking records at some of the most prestigious venues around the world including Mall of Asia Arena (Manila, PH), Coca-Cola Arena (Dubai), ICC Theatre (Sydney, AU), and Radio City Music Hall (New York City). In March, the comedian released his first autobiography, Mixed Plate with Harper Collins Publishers. In this funny and moving memoir, Koy uncovers the stories behind his stand-up: the conflict, the drama, and the laughter as he struggles to find his place in the entertainment industry, a country and the world. This spring Koy will shoot the Amblin Partners and Dan Lin’s Ridback comedy film, Easter Sunday.

Wil Anderson’s comedy is high energy, unpredictable and has a joke count that should carry a heart health warning. Astute and hilarious, Wil has won the People’s Choice Award for a record six times at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, selling more tickets than any other act and cementing himself as Australia’s comedian of choice. After more than twenty years in the game Wil is a relentless innovator, with shows that get better each year. Wil Anderson is simply as good as comedy gets in our part of the world. “…dry, self-deprecating, politically incorrect and crude, there are not many areas of our society at which Wil Anderson is not willing to take a crack. And thank goodness, because in his hands pretty much everything has a funny side” - Daily Telegraph “surprisingly heartfelt, regularly courageous and consistently funny…brilliant” - The Age “superbly crass, irreverent, smart, manic, soulful and consistently hilarious” - The Sun-Herald “A sharp and pacy torrent of jokes delivered with a skill that’s worth savouring” - The List, Edinburgh TELEVISION 2020 STAN Lockdown Comedy Festival 2015-20 ABC TV Gruen (Host and Executive Producer) 2016-18 Network TEN Have You Been Paying Attention?
