Indigenous Service
As you may know, our board voted to create an Indigenous Service committee, a sub-committee of Community service under the leadership of Peter Bocking & Andrew Butterworth.  This committee will be exploring ways our club can serve the Indigenous Peoples of Canada though member & community education, indigenous consultation outreach, and projects... When John Currie from HIP (Honouring Indigenous People) came to our club he recommended that anyone and everyone view the television mini-series First Contact.  The videos are available here https://aptn.ca/firstcontact/video/
