Networking Meeting:

I posted some suggestions about networking meetings to the wikispace and encourage everyone else to do the same.

We had a successful first meeting to brief people about what TIG was while connecting some groups to each other. There was a good mix of organizations as well as some high school students who are interested in getting involved in some of the networks. There was the Indian Friendship Centre, PARO Women's Place for entrepreneurship, the Presbyterian Youth Ministry, Youthscape and Action for Neighbourhood Change, Beedaubin Arts group, the Regional Multicultural Youth Council, Health Engaging Youth, and the Multicultural Youth Centre.

Mai and myself first showed the TIG guide, and then we went around the circle and talked about fears about technology. There were some First Nation's students from up North, so it was a good chance to get a feel for what their ideas are about access. I wish there was more time to discuss this and sign up for TIG, so I would make it an hour and a half next time.


Climate Change Workshop:

Also for Mai's visit, there were a few environmental groups who came to learn about the Guide to Action for Climate Change. The groups were the Gitchi Gami Environmental Group from Fort William First Nation, the Oudoors Environmental Club from Churchill High School, and the Regional Multicultural Youth Council. We started with an icebreaker about the ecosystem and how it's connected, then we played a trivia game and showed the guide. We also showed a video about climate change. Next time I will make sure to have video on the laptop so that we can project it. I was glad I put posters up because some people came from the poster alone. So, again, it was a good mix It was two hours and that was enough time. If we were to make it longer next time, it would be a day long workshop with breaks. It would have been great to ask them for ideas and break up into groups to do some concrete planning. However, this was not possible because people begin to get tired at 8:30 pm.
