- Comments from the government/Minister of Citizenship and Immigration on
changes to the refugee system in Canada how can/should we respond?
4) Planning youth activities for December 2nd in Windsor
- for the moment, only an evening orientation session is being planned
- form planning team who is on it? What are the responsibilities?
- what activities will we plan as an orientation for first-time youth
participants?
How do we want these sessions to be different from the Youth Caucus
(scheduled for Thursday, December 3rd during the CCR Consultation)?
