Planning Meeting
Thursday, March 31st – 5:30 pm Potluck dinner. 6:30 pm to 8 pm Meeting
Further discussion on the formation of an organizational committee for leadership and administration of Penticton4Freedom. Lots of volunteer opportunities, a chance to have your say, and to propose your own initiatives. Please contact Mary Lou at 780-908-0309 if you want a spot on the agenda
Agenda:
1. Planning for a brighter future for Canada
2. What to do in the meantime – current and new initiatives
3. Update on code of conduct and formation of an organizational committee – words do matter.
Penticton4Freedom: Change is Coming!
“Democracy only works in a moral society.” Brian Peckford, only living signator to the Canadian Constitution and Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
We now realize that we must create that moral society from the ground up to replace the broken health, legal and financial systems and the corrupt, tyrannical government we currently have in Canada. For Penticton4Freedom, that means getting our own house in order first by being more specific about where we fit in the world of freedom organizations and focusing on our highest contribution to the movement, to our supporters and to our country.
Our aim now is to complete the five key projects listed below:
1. Identify Our Shared Values as a principled foundation for all of our actions
2. Declare Our Vision – what we envision as a positive future society to live in
3. Clarify Our Mission – the specific actions we take as our contribution to that broader vision
4. Agree upon a Code of Conduct for our rallies and other public events
5. Create a more inclusive Decision-Making and Organizational Structure and choose those to administer it
CALL TO ACTION
– RSVP if you wish to be included in the planning process for these foundational projects. Further discussion at our March 31 Planning, followed by a Zoom call the following Wednesday, April 6 from 6:30 to 8 pm.
– Please include your initial thoughts on any or all of the items above as well as where your primary interest lies.
AND A BIG THANK YOU to Julia for putting together our first iteration of these goals, to all who have already contributed to the building of this organization through voluntarism and to the idea pool to kick off these projects. Sending love!

MEETING PLACE FOR PENTICTON SUPPORTERS
Saturday, April 2 – Meet at 11:15 to show your support for the convoy at the end of the Parkway Channel. There is lots of parking there immediately west of the bridge. If you have ever tubed the channel, you’ll recognize that this is where you get off the rafts. We’ll park there and cheer on the convoy as it goes by, then any who wishes can join the convoy at the end of the line.
Those who can’t make it to the meeting spot can still join the convoy from wherever you have an entry point directly into the shoulder lane so you can avoid having to cross lanes of traffic to join up.
