The Coady International Institute Comes to Canso Community!
On May 28, 2012, 30 people from more than 20 countries will be visiting Canso. We are inviting citizens
of the Canso Area to participate with Coady students in creating an experiential day, so they can try out
some of the techniques they learned in the classroom. These techniques will provide participants with
the opportunity to uncover and map the strengths of our community (like natural and economic
resources, individual skills and associations).
Everyone is welcome any time between 12:30pm-3:00pm on May 28.
Stay for half an hour or stay for the whole time! The more diversity, the better! If you are interested in
participating in the fun, please call or e-mail Renee Sagebear Albrecht for details.
Schedule:
10:00: Welcome from Renee Sagebear and others (mayor, school principal, etc)
10:15: Walking or bus tour of key resources in the community (associations, institutions, financial,
natural, physical, historical, cultural,etc)
11:45-12:30: Return to hall, prepare for mapping, eat lunch
12:30:Coady participants set up stations to map different types of assets that exist in Canso: human,
natural, physical, financial and social. Some people may like to take you on a transect walk of the
community so they can appreciate the diversity of natural resources.
3:00: Each group presents their maps and have a short discussion to discuss potential opportunities for
pooling resources to achieve something the community considers important.
