President George welcomed everyone to the meeting.  (Due to computer glitch, and in spite of a determined effort by Ian Yeates to get it working, we were unable to connect Zoom for the meeting.) President George’s Treaty Recognition reaffirmed our commitment and responsibility for improving relationships between nations and that we should apply the Four-Way Test, striving to Build Goodwill and Better Friendships.

O Canada was led by Gilda Treleaven-Graham and George Carson provided the Blessing/Moment of Contemplation.

George thanked all those who volunteered to assist with the meeting.
