2026 Spring Gathering

Coming Full Circle
— Back to Where It All Began

For many Ontario funeral professionals, Humber is where it all began—where they were trained in their calling, built lifelong professional relationships, and laid the foundation for careers dedicated to service. This spring, we’re excited to gather in the Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation, celebrate the strong connection so many of the bereavement sector have to this institution.

Eddie LeMoine

Leadership, Generations, Capacity and Sector Collaboration

The funeral profession serves every generation, often simultaneously. Inside organizations and across the sector, generational differences, staffing pressures, and evolving expectations create real leadership challenges.
 
In this engaging keynote, award-winning speaker and best-selling author Eddie LeMoine examines how leaders can strengthen communication across generations, improve collaboration between educators, regulators, and practitioners, and build sustainable capacity in a profession where traditional work-life balance does not always apply.
 
Participants will explore:
  • How generational experiences shape expectations and communication
  • Leadership behaviours that improve engagement and retention
  • Building capacity without burning out your team
  • Strengthening collaboration across the sector
  • Navigating change with clarity and professionalism

Inclusive Gathering

A Place at the Table for the Entire Bereavement Sector

By gathering the full community that supports families before, during, and after loss, we create space for honest dialogue, shared learning, and stronger relationships that benefit the profession as a whole.
