Those that protest for global justice and against poverty to those fighting for safe drinking water, decent jobs, human rights and against climate change – we welcome everyone trying to make a difference, be they from inside politics, organizations, or outside the system. We welcome activists from all walks of life: everyone from the Indigenous Peoples, labour, the faith community, environmentalists, low income groups, equity seeking groups, youth and students.</font></span></font></font></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#060606"> </font></span></font></font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#060606"> If you self-identify as someone trying to make our world a better place, please join us.</font></span></font></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#060606">For those with children, childcare is provided for children aged 3+ during hours when there is retreat programming.
