The theme chosen would be an excellent follow-up to the current theme, <em>Love One Another </em> and the prayer focused on acting justly, loving tenderly and walking humbly with God to achieve justice, peace, hope and, consequently, love. </p> <p align="justify">Two of the six resolutions adopted at the annual national convention  Resolution <a href="../../resolutions/2008/2008-04.html">2008.04</a> Accurate Food Labelling, prepared by Marcella Pedersen of the Prince Albert Diocese, and Resolution <a href="../../resolutions/2008/2008-01.html">2008.01</a> Preventing Human Trafficking at 2010 Olympics were of particular interest to members. The action plans for these two resolutions, as outlined in the fall 2008 issue of <em>The Canadian League</em>, urged members to write letters. Members were not discouraged by the lack of immediate results, but with prayer preceding each letter, were confident that they would be heard. The federal government was reminded that women are not commodities to be used and abused. </p> <p align="justify">The provincial council's fall workshop was held on September 27th. Thirty members participated in the workshop <em>One in the Spirit </em> which was facilitated by Provincial Chairperson of Spiritual Development Chairperson Tillie Aessie and Honorary Life Member Claire Heron. They had an excellent and very well planned presentation. Members found it a spiritually fulfilling session. </p> <p align="justify">On November 2nd, I attended a presentation on human trafficking. It was geared toward college and university students with the view to train participants to work for the abolishment of human trafficking nationally and globally. I was very disappointed in the turnout; no college or university students were there  only religious sisters and a few League members! The event was very informative and certainly raised awareness of the problem. It's unfortunate that students were not there to benefit and become involved. </p> </td> </tr> </table> <!-- start of footer --> </div> <table width="770" border="0" align="left"> <table width="767" border="0"> <tr> <th scope="col"> &nbsp; </th> </tr> </table> </table> <!-- end #container --> </div> <img src="../../images/bottom-banner.jpg" width="767" height="57" /> <script type="text/javascript">hideOnLoad(window.location.href);</script> </body> </html>
