Saskatchewan-Keewatin-Le Pas

The Saskatchewan-Keewatin-Le Pas region met in sunny Saskatoon on Saturday, April 17 at Holy Spirit Parish. We gathered as a CORE group two weeks ahead of our Regional Assembly in order to allow a day to devote our full attention to the task at hand. We were happy to be joined by Isabelle Kim, assistant education director based in Toronto.

There were 25 people gathered for the day. Discussion was animated with many ideas coming out of reflections on the present situation of Development and Peace and its future orientation. There was a general affirmation of the ecological focus for the next 5 years as long as it is in the context of 'People First' and stays true to Catholic Social Teaching.

The use of technology in the form of the 'flip' camera allowed for a synthesis of the day in the form of a verbal, instead of written report. It created some focus for everyone as we strove to come up with some key outcomes from the day. We wish the other regions well as they enter into their discussions for the AOA and look forward to hearing what comes out of the various areas.
