An experienced anti-racism educator, workshop leader, and award-winning writer, Adele has been involved in anti-oppression work with churches in Canada and beyond for many years.

After a time for chat and coffee, we will hear from Adele Halliday of the General Council office and her passion and portfolio about anti – racism. This will be followed by a Q&A session.
At our last meeting, we asked you to consider the future of our group. There will be plenty of time at this meeting to think about whether our November meeting will be our last, or whether the group will carry on. Louise will be moving on to other responsibilities; Nancy will help any new group with organizational details before stepping down; and Robin would like to step back from leadership at some point.
After some small group discussion and large group feedback, we will vote on the future of our gathering. We hope you will be able to join us!
Deadline for registration is September 5, 2023.
