Aboriginal Committee Update

X says that ‘Homes, Health and Families’ title includes all families, not just blood ties.  X has called on Scot Clark of Gen 7 to work with us.

Legal Committee Update

Discussion about presentation that X gave at Vandu. X says the next step should be to hold community meetings. X says people more comfortable with using language that relates to addiction. X says it is necessary to point out errors for people to learn how the language is wrong because such language results in errors in thinking that strips the person of all rights. X says they are astonished that anyone understands the issue.
