Pricing Table

Does the registration fee include an Annual SHBE Membership?

While we do not currently confirm each Convention attendee's membership status as in the past, we really do hope that this doesn't result in membership cancellations (and that non-members will also still feel led to sign up for a SHBE membership), for a number of reasons.

  • First of all, everyone involved with SHBE is a volunteer! While Convention fees cover Convention expenses, our SHBE Membership is what covers all the operating costs of SHBE as a registered non-profit charity in Saskatchewan! This includes required insurance, website costs, and other minimized overhead expenses.
  • All members are invited to our annual AGM and are invited to contact SHBE at any time with questions or concerns!
  • Our board does revisit Convention and board expenses every year to ensure we can cover both expenses through Convention registrations and membership fee.
  • Check out our About page for more information about what SHBE is about. If you have any other questions about SHBE, please be sure to contact our Help Desk!

Teen Program

Do you have a teen ages 13 and up? If so, bring them along*! Teens ages 13+ love participating in our Teen Program designed by our Convention Committee just for them, while getting to know other homeschooled teens at the same time!
*Take note that registration for teens will be limited to the space of the available teen room this year, so register early!


‘Can I REALLY do this?’ Workshop

This popular homeschooling workshop is the ideal place to start. This workshop will answer questions from anyone considering homeschooling, and from anyone ready to start their homeschool journey. Questions like, “Is homeschooling legal?”, “Am I qualified?”, “Where do I start?”, and “How do I start?”

Join us Friday, February 27th, 2026 for this workshop. This workshop is free, but to attend any other parts of the event you will need to register.

Used Books

For those who would like to sell used books at Convention, this is once again going to be possible on consignment through a private vendor.

If you have Used Books you would like to sell, The Treasure Chest is available to sell them on consignment for you.  Please contact Francie Munchinsky as soon as you are able (before February 12th), so she can plan her booths accordingly (see email address below).

 

Homeschool Completion Recognition Ceremony

We are pleased to host the Homeschool Completion Recognition Ceremony in honour of students completing formal homeschool studies in the spring of 2026. The ceremony typically takes place on Friday after the final plenary session.  Take note that the date/time is not yet finalized for 2026!  Both parents and grads will be introduced.  Anyone interested in participating in this event can indicate so on their registration form (by purchasing a "Graduate" ticket), and their ticket confirmation email will explain where to find more information.
