In attendance: Laura, Gehan, Emily
- We need to change the Date to September 30th
- Doesn’t fit in with Centre for Peace Advancement (Grebel)’s peace week
- But the 23rd conflicts with Shiv’s annual SHEN conference, probably overlapping people
- Also Matt is no longer able to attend the 23rd
- Venue is available the 30th as well
- Title of event- Perspectives on Peace: Peace in our Community
- Booth fair
- Instead of discussion groups at the end, have the different groups involved have booths and people can wander and talk to group representatives as they please
- Panel
- Speakers:
- Melissa Webster: anti-poverty. Confirmed
- Gehan: Intercultural dialogue. Confirmed
- Trudy: community development. To be asked by Bob
- Lori Campbell: Aboriginal reparations. To be asked by Emily
- We should have an honourarium for the speakers, but with what money
- Questions for panel
- Who are you, what is your group and personal perspective on Peace in the Community
- What would you change in our community if you could
- What are the barriers to building peace, and how can we overcome them?
