MORE FROM WINNIPEG


The conference continues to be amazing and inspirational. Meeting lots of new people from all kinds of places! Pictured here are Julie (formerly of SA Dragons Abreast), Anita from Coffs Harbour and Pansie from Toronto)

There is lots of connection with Australia here. The morning started off with Jeff Dunn, CEO of the Cancer council Qld as the keynote speaker. Jeff went down very well - introduced as Mr Sunshine - and what could be more apt given his wonderful smile and the fact he comes from the Sunshine State (mine you it does rain everytime I go there!)

Attended a couple of wonderful workshops around the topic of Kids Can Cope and another about an amazing resource kit for adolescents - a program that is delivered in schools to create awareness. Lots of potential for something along these lines in Australia.

Dragon boat component was also yesterday - read more about that on the coordinators blog a little later.

I will also write up about the Field of Women too - but for now I must dash as it is party night and I am already late!
