a) National insurance likely far less expensive - We are working on the improvement in insurance procedures, where
we can confidently insure ALL our activities and works, across Canada
at considerable cost savings (cooperating with Diocesan insurance in Ontario).
Will be keeping you informed as issues unfold.
b) Young adult twinning/exchange program - Appreciation was expressed for our ONPC initiatives in pursuing
this development with La Antigua, Guatemala.
c) ONPC aboriginal programming initiatives -
National Council encouraged with our shipment of clothes and blankets
to students on Longlac reserve, (NW of Thunder Bay) by St Agnes Conference,
Thunder Bay.
Said it has some funds to assist us with travel/training to extend our
aboriginal programs in the North.
d) Reporting of child abuse -
Nick Volk (ONPC President} raised this issue from our ONPC Oct 28th general
meeting. We are required legally to report our perceptions of child abuse
in our home visits to children's aid. This is confirmed in a section of
our new, revised SSVP Canadian Rule.
