This year’s theme was Connecting to Build Hope and Strength.

We were joined by Elder Beatrice Morin from the Enoch Cree Nation. Elder Beatrice opened our event with a prayer before sharing a bit of her journey. Sarah Parkinson spoke next with some greetings from the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder – Cross-Ministry Committee (FASD-CMC).

Co-Chair Tammi Crowley led our Business Meeting and introduced Provincial Coordinator, Kristin Bonot, to speak about the Alberta PCAP Council’s accomplishments in the past year, and Quality Assurance Analyst, Kingsley Emelideme, to present some data from Penelope, the Alberta PCAP Council’s outcomes tracking application.

After the Business Meeting, we had a special presentation from Wendy Edey, “The Hope Lady“, on Audacious Hope, Practical  Perspectives, and the Power of Positive Mentorship. Wendy presented with a mixture of poetry and story-telling. She helped us examined what the “hope suckers” are in our life and how to maintain our hope in difficult times. 

After the end of the regular program, there was a Supervisor’s Networking Evening, which included dinner and entertainment for our dedicated supervisors and network coordinators.
