Small Group Workshop Discussions After the workshop presentations, people stayed in the small groups to talk about appropriate development, and to identify the key principles for making sure that development is appropriate. People in the workshops were asked to think about what needs to happen for development to be appropriate in this region, and what are the reasons for the success and achievements or failures of particular enterprises and projects. The Day One workshop discussions were recorded and summarized. This information was used to develop the Roundtable’s Statement of Principles. Day Two Second Big Group Session To start off the second day, the big group listened to a summary of the things that were discussed in the small group workshops held on Day One. That was followed by presentations from the three overseas guest speakers. These presentations were about their experiences of appropriate development in other parts of the world. • Dr Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend, Vice Chair of the World Conservation Union’s (IUCN) Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy (CEESP), gave a history of natural resource management and outlined recent key changes in international conservation policies. She then gave details of some conservation programs from overseas. • Ian Gill, President of Ecotrust Canada, spoke about the establishment and operations of Ecotrust, a fund set up to help people get financial backing for development projects that are appropriate to the natural environment. • Leah George-Wilson, Chief of Tsleil- Waututh First Nation, and a board member of Ecotrust Canada, described the experiences of the Tsleil-Waututh people, including the development of a partnership with Ecotrust Canada. After the tea break, people stayed in the big group, but talked with the other people at their tables. They were given a draft list of principles that had come from the Day One small group workshops. They were asked to work together to make comments about how these principles should be written down. The information collected from this session was used to develop the list of principles. Small Group Workshops for Day Two — Coming up with Actions and Principles In the afternoon of Day Two, people went back to those same small group workshops. They were asked to identify the most important things that should be done to carry the principles of appropriate development into action. These workshops came up with a summary of the key actions put forward in each of the six workshops. Last Big Group Session In the last big group session, people were asked to provide final comments and suggestions about the statement of principles and the list of 15
