Age is just a number, and in our case, our number has a lot to tell the world!"

Students rave about the First ever Catholic School Justice Workshop
sponsored by the Archdiocese of Winnipeg Catholic schools and the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace

On February 19, sixty students and teachers attended representing eight schools: Our Lady of Victory School, St. Gerard’s School, St. Mary’s Academy (jr and sr), St. Ignatius School, St. Augustine’s School from Brandon, St. Boniface Diocesan High School, St. Jean Brebeuf School and Christ the King School.

Shaya Gasnarek, a grade 8 student from St. Augustine’s school in Brandon really enjoyed the workshop,
"The way that you told us how we have power [to create change] over and over again really made us think we can make a difference. That's really great to hear, especially [since] every day people tell us we don't, that we're just kids, but now we know we're not. Age is just a number, and in our case, our number has a lot to tell the world!"

Manitoba rocks! Way to go!
