I had the same thought. Asked a colleague, who found out from the organizers - they don't have plans right now to offer scholarships or subsidies, but if they are able to attract sponsorship they may do so in the future. So I guess one has to wait and see.

Looks like a great conference but prohibitively expensive for most small non-profits in the field. Any plans to introduce a reduced rate or subsidies for non-profit organizations?

Expanding Our Horizons: Moving Mental Health and Wellness into the Mainstream
The Clifford Beers Foundation working in conjunction with The Mental Health Commission of Canada is pleased to announce this important international conference on the promotion of mental health and wellness, which will take place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, March 4th
- 6th 2009
The objectives of the conference are:
1. To raise the profile of mental health and wellness promotion on the national agenda by learning from other jurisdictions and from each other.
2. To influence the development and implementation of a Canadian strategy for mental health and wellness promotion, as well as provincial/territorial policies.
3. To promote action and "ownership" of mental health and wellness promotion by everyone (i.e. governments, communities, all sectors).
4. To develop and enhance intersectoral partnerships.
5. To provide a forum for knowledge exchange, opportunities to learn about the latest research, innovations and evidence-based practices.
A major driving force for the conference is the development of a series of recommendations on how mental health and wellness promotion can best be moved into the mainstream. Secondly and just as importantly, the conference will produce a series of recommendations to highlight the value of mental health and wellness promotion in any national mental health strategy. These recommendations will be forwarded to the Mental Health Commission.
The website provides information on calls for papers, keynote speakers, registration etc.:
