Although we find an intimate level of community through our Christian faith, anyone interested in homeschooling is welcome to join us. We always encourage people to get a babysitter for the kids and make this an evening to refresh your spirit and experience genuine fellowship with other homeschooling parents. We meet 7:00 - 8:30 PM on the third Monday of every month (September to June), with lots of time to visit afterward."

- AHEA - Alberta Home Education Association
They hold a big home schooling convention each winter (see their site below for the exact dates), with many major vendors of home school curricula and materials, and they have lots of information on their site. Note that this group is run by Chistians who don't allow all vendors or organizations at their conference, so if you are hoping to meet a particular vendor or organization in person there, make sure you check ahead to see if they will be at the conference.
