And, from Andrew...

The Region 11 West Workshop went very well! I would like to thank your Chapter for  attending this year's workshop. Everyone had an enjoyable time and got resources to take  back to their school. Thank you, Matt Evans,  for your humour and motivational presentation.  In addition, I would like to acknowledge speakers Kirk Kinghorn and Bev Brazeau for their  touching victim impact presentation, Sergeant Mike Davies of Crime Stoppers, Constable  Steve Miron of Sault Ste. Marie Police Services, and Peter Reynolds of Dawson & Keenan  Insurance. Thank you to our supporters for your generous donations. The students had fun at the Corn  Maze at Mockingbird Hill Farm and thank you First Student Canada School Bus  Transportation. We had a great time at Northcrest Bowling Lanes. Food was supplied by Tim  Horton's, Subway, Metro, and Sun Kwong Restaurant. Thank you food caterers. During the weekend, students were able to share fundraising ideas for in-school purposes  and ideas for Citywide major events. Great discussions everyone!
