Whats YOUR Input?

At the Trade Show I suggested we make a 'graffiti board' to gather community input. It is a great way to do field research on a certain question. We used the board to ask what the elders, youth, parents, leaders, and community agencies wanted to see from our programs. We asked for their ideas on what THEY want to see in the community, and it was a great result, both in regards to answering our questions but also citizens were extremely pleased that we were asking their opinions.

Edmonton Court

Friday morning we were called up to court in Edmonton for 2 of our clients. After court we did follow up with one of our funders for our suicide prevention programs.

The Trade Show

The Trade Show was a 2 day event that was held in the community. It was a chance for the different organizations around the community to showcase themselves, as well as get to know other organizations and community members. We had 2 booths, one for Maskwacis Justice, and another for Girl Guides. We sold cupcakes to fundraise, as well as did airbrush tattoos. Also, we had a free draw and our give away was the little bags (See Photo).

Girl Guides Board

Inside each bag was Mint, Tea for a relaxant, and a Rock to symbolize protection. The Bags were beaded with the 4 colours.

Golf Excursion !

This tuesday was the Samson Cree Economic Development Golf Tournament at Wolfcreek golf course. This was a great opportunity to meet many people and organizations in the community while representing Maskwacis Justice Society. It was very much a 'Capacity Building' experience.

Fun day, but I think for now on I'll leave the golfing for the golfers.

         

 

Trade show prep, and a gift!

All afternoon today we went and gathered everything we needed for next weeks trade show, and putting stuff together. 

We are giving out little bags, which I will show the completed version later, but in each will contain a rock. These rocks are for protection, and by carrying these rocks with you, you will be safe. In one of the bags I found a rock that was shaped like a heart, later the other workers here at the office came and gave me the heart rock, as well as this amazing beaded key chain :) . 

We also all gathered for bannock with the elders during lunch! 

Let the reading, Begin.

Welcome to my office :)
