Kudos to St. Francis Xavier D and Pers for a fabulous year. Check out their successes:Ø Regular weekly meetings led by student executive and attended by members at large
Ø Recruited 100 new students for mailing list at society night.
Ø Canadian Mining: Called to Account: Coffee House, Guest speaker Father Peter Henriot addressed 80-90 people, and a 40th Anniversary potluck
Ø Joint film night with other campus group, Sipakapa is Not For Sale, with guest from Sipacapa, Javier de Leon
Ø Solidarity Sunday and a box social night
Ø Power of One Film night with D and P group
Ø Stayed in touch with the local, provincial and national chapters of Development and Peace
Overall, we are very proud of our accomplishments this year. We raised awareness about international mining, an issue which is often neglected. Our signature campaign was a huge success, and all of the 233 cards collected have been forwarded to the Prime Minister’s Office. We are hopeful that advocacy for change in Canadian mining policy will result in ratification of our organization’s suggestions. Our fundraising also exceeded our expectations, and we are proud that the funds will support long-term, sustainable development around the world.
