REAL WOMEN OF CANADA 2004 ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE

"SHAPING THE FUTURE"

REAL Women had another fascinating, well-organized conference - this time in the west at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Just like last year, however, when we held our conference in Ottawa, we experienced a fierce snow/ice storm, which began the night before the Saskatoon conference and continued throughout the day of the conference. A snowstorm on the open prairies is no small matter, with many roads blocked. Did it stop our intrepid REAL Women friends and members? No way. Only a few were not able to make it through the storm - but most did so and were glad they came. Both the speakers and the delicious lunch were a sizzling success.

Our deepest thanks to the organizers of the wonderful conference, the participants, and, of course, the speakers.

For those from other parts of Canada who could not attend the conference, we are pleased to provide you with a summary of the talks, which are as follows:

1. Senator Anne Cools
2. Link Byfield
3. Heather Stilwell
4. Gwen Landolt
