More about the Conference
Climate change is affecting people in Saskatchewan and globally.
How can faith and peacebuilding drive action in the face of climate change?
How can we inspire meaningful change within our communities?
Join us to learn how MCC and its partners are addressing these questions.
The day will open with a theological reflection by Leah Reesor-Keller, author of Tending Tomorrow: Courageous Change for People and Planet, Transitional Executive Director for KAIROS Canada and former MCC representative in Nepal. This session will ground us in our faith as we reimagine ways to care for our world.
In the morning plenary, James and Joan Alty, former MCC staff, will share insights on conservation agriculture in southern Africa.
In the afternoon, MCC staff will lead an interactive workshop titled “Our Shared Future.” This hands-on session will provide participants with practical steps for individuals and communities to reduce the impact of extreme weather in their local areas.
Throughout the day, a series of workshops will highlight how local churches, MCC Thrift Shops, and MCC's partners KAIROS and Canadian Foodgrains Bank, are responding to climate challenges. Additionally, you can visit information tables from local organizations to discover tangible ways to get involved beyond the conference.
Lunch will be a nature-inspired feast, curated by Chef Jenni Lessard, a Métis chef and culinary consultant at Inspired by Nature Culinary Consulting.
This year we’re excited to feature local artisans showcasing their handmade items, including beadwork, paintings, and woodwork, celebrating creativity and sustainability.
Don't miss this opportunity to engage with global issues and be inspired to take climate action for peace.
