Tyler Sommers' Blog

Hello hello.

So the public side of things has kind of drifted off in the CYA.. posting on the forums is lessened, which is rather unhealthy for our goals.

So we're going to be whipping things back into shape.

Our website is getting a much needed reorganization, making it easier to know what we're doing and to keep you informed.
Our forum and social networking will be revamped.
Our volunteers will be posting on the forum regularly (I'll see what I can do about getting them blogging as well).
I'm also floating the idea of having regular focus groups with our members on various topics - to get a youth perspective on things (using our chat software).

So we have a few more volunteers and we're changing the way we handle and get them working because we've lost too many of them due to lack of communication.

We do, however, have a great document on outreaching to Aboriginal peoples from one of our volunteers, expect that up on the site (I think it's on the forum already) soon.

And a big thing the February 20th Conference in Ottawa. February 20th we'll be holding a leadership conference in Ottawa, our first keynote speaker is Steve Paikin of TVO's The Agenda.

Check out our Facebook event

Information is also on our main website

Till next time,
