This edition of the newsletter contains the minutes of the 1996 Quebec meeting. Two key decisions were taken at that meeting:
First, we plan to have a National Life Skills Homecoming and
Conference on May 23 - 26, 1997, at the Marlboro Inn in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. As
details are settled you’ll find them on our Internet Website in Homecoming 97 or by
contacting Dori Britski, 27 Thomson Bay, Prince Albert, SK - S6X 1A3.

Second, we decided to proceed without a newsletter, at least until someone steps forward to do it. In the meantime, we will communicate by telephone, fax, email and with the Website. We decided to register our Website on the Internet and get our own address, rather than continuing to piggyback on the CAREnet page. This has been done. Our new and hopefully final home address is:
So, the pressure is certainly on now for our members to get access to email and the Internet. If you’re not yet ready to connect your own computer to the Net, you may find that you know someone who already has access at home or at work who will pass messages for you. Have your friend send an email message to
and I’ll put you on the emailing list. Another alternative is to find an Internet Cafe. These are springing up all over the place and will very reasonably host an email account, sell you access to the Internet by the hour, and gently walk you through the bafflegab of surfing cyberspace.

CALSCA Website Table of Contents
I’ve recently included an Employment Opportunity category, because an employer asked me to advertise some upcoming coaching positions. That category will come and go as positions open and close.
Eventually this will be a complete database about the doings of organized coaches. Organizational histories, accreditation documents, constitutions, bylaws, ethics, what-have-you, and a forum for discussion and debate.
While I take great joy in developing and maintaining the Page, I’m not much for transcription. I’d greatly appreciate your sending any long contributions on disk or as email (text or attachment), rather than on paper or by fax. So Alberta, for instance, with your incredibly long Ethics and Standards document, I’d like to add it to the collection, but please, put it on disk or send it by email. I still have to code it, but that’s fine, it’s the transcribing that’s onerous. Feel free to phone me (Rod) at 1-250-573-5587 for detailed data transfer instructions.
