History in the making

 

Originally published in Volume 2, Number 1 of the CALSCA Newsletter, January, 1995. (Editor's Note: Dori Britski, bless her little Sask. heart, has sent me a terrific news clipping dated August 1988. I am reprinting this in its totality (minus the photo of Jack Mitchell and Paul Curtis) because I find it exciting to think that we are still continuing a movement that started many years ago in a room over a bowling alley. That same movement has changed our lives forever. Amen. S.G.)
 

The Maritimes adopt accreditation

 

Originally published as "Development at Grass Roots" in Volume 2, Number 1 in the CALSCA Newsletter, January, 1995. (Editor's Note: Jay Moore of the Ontario Association has been involved with the Maritimes Association as they wade through the meaning of accreditation and all its quirks and quarks. I reprint Jay's account of his experience because so many of you are at the beginning phases of putting accreditation in place. Enjoy! S.G.)
