2010 Summer Social BBQ & Networking Event
Join us for the 2nd Annual Summer Social BBQ hosted by the BC Accounting Clubs Committee. The Langara Accounting Club has partnered up with several Lower Mainland Universities and Colleges to bring you this exciting event. This is an outdoor event at Locarno Beach in Vancouver. There will be food, activities, games, and more!
This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the accounting profession as we have several CA firms sending a number of representatives and recruiters. This will also be a great opportunity to interact with CA firms and practice your networking skills for the upcoming September recruiting events.
This event was a huge success last year, and will only be bigger and more spectacular this year. Not only do we anticipate a larger turnout of students this year, but we will also be seeing an increase in the number of CA firms and representatives. There will also be representatives from CGA and CMA attending this event.
So if you’re planning on applying to the CA program in the upcoming year or looking for Co-op opportunities at a CA firm, we definitely encourage you to register and attend this event. Even if you’re new to accounting, or undecided about which accounting designation to pursue, we still invite you to come.

Greetings all!
Welcome to another fine semester at the Langara School of Management. Continuing our tradition of keeping you informed, we have three speakers coming to talk about Canada's accounting designations, and the CRA will be on campus training people for the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program.
January 20: Ashley Hetherington, ICABC's Recruiting and Communications Coordinator, will be on campus to talk about becoming a Chartered Accountant, and to answer any questions you may have.
January 26: Jas Randhawa, CGA BC's Recruiting and Employment Manager, will be talking about Certified General Accountants in BC, what they do, and how to be one. If you can't make it to the information session don't worry! Jas will also be on campus February 2 for one-on-one talks with students.
January 28: Dayl Booth, CMA BC's Information Officer, will be on campus to explain what a Certified Management Accountant does, and what it takes to be certified. Dayl will also be available for one-on-one conversations after the information session.
January 23: Anyone interested in preparing income tax returns as a volunteer this tax season should attend the CVITP training session. Later in the semester, volunteering opportunities will be available for anyone who has completed the training.
