Swimming salmon on the sides and an orca in the middle. Curtis Wilson died age 39 in 2019 of a heart attack. He wanted to convey the importance of family, friendships and strength. He said there are many types of people living in Canada and many types of salmon. He wanted to see us all in Canada come together. ♥️🖤♥️
Happy Canada Day! And I hope you like heat, because there is certainly enough of that.

The recipient for the $500 bursary is Jarvis Ewasko. Equal thanks to Sharon who assisted with this process again this year. Congratulations, Jarvis.
We have a wonderful,opportunity to get involved in a fundraising event for The Daylilly Gardens so save the date, August 7th. CWL will host the 5th checkpoint. We can also have a mini fundraiser if we would like, so one simple idea would be a bake sale. I am asking for volunteers to bake.
I also need 5 more volunteers, and you can come either 10:00-12:00 or 12:00 til 2:00 p.m. We will have the church open to see the art and visit the building. Please let me know if you can help, and if you can provide baking. YES, we are back at fundraising in a fun and small,way so, please help us!
The annual AGM was held last evening from 18:30-20:30. (Remember we were going to host it in April of 2020? Well, this was a toned down, dry business-like meeting and sadly nobody accepted their name to be president of the Saint Boniface Diocesan Council, so the positions will need to be appointed. Suzanne Moore and Connie McCorrister-Moravek were voted in as treasurer, and committee member.
I would like to send out a huge thank you and bouquet to Paulette Chase for her extra year in the position due to no elections. Paulette deserves a rest after all the uncertainty of Covid and navigating through this all topped off with the recent death of her father. Our condolences to you. Picture from Morden in 2019……..little did we know of our tops turvy lives with no more more conventions due to restrictions. Paulette- you are a treasure! Thank-you.

Greetings to my League sisters,
Thank you for your continued efforts and unfailing support of the League in these trying times. As noted in your annual reports, some of you serve in combined roles—past president and president— and of course, the League is excellent at recycling.
Past presidents have been anxious to support their presidents. Brava! Unfortunately, presidents do not always consult with you. Continue to make yourself available and offer encouragement as your provincial council comes back to life after the pandemic. What may not have worked in the past may work now. So, work to fortify the team effort.
Now is an ideal time to chronicle the recent historical events. Unfortunately, many regular League activities may have been interrupted. Still, members throughout the country have been extremely active, devoting more time to prayer, involving themselves in service projects for their communities and broadening their knowledge and support of social justice issues affecting the world. Please ask your diocesan counterparts to encourage parish councils to capture these events before they fade in memory.
Amendments to the Constitution & Bylaws (C&B) were circulated last December with the intent to tabulate and adopt the instructed vote at the national annual meeting of members in August 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the delay of this vote until 2022. Councils had the option to delay discussion and voting on these changes until it was safe to meet in person and fully debate the amendments. Encourage past presidents to be available to make this presentation at council meetings and support an informed decision about the League in the future.
With the pending vote on the amendments, the national executive/board originally planned not to address changes to the National Manual of Policy and Procedure (P&P) last year. However, the delay in the vote on the amendments opened a window for proposed policy changes. Councils and members are encouraged to forward proposed revisions to the P&P using the form found on the website and submit them to national office by December 1, 2021. These will be reviewed by the national chairperson of laws and presented to the board for adoption at its winter meeting. So, P&P changes may be submitted and adopted before the vote on the C&B in August
2022. When voted upon, any amendments adopted will necessitate a future major review of the P&P.
As this term winds down and another one is fresh on the horizon, I thank you for your continued service. I encourage you to consider this next year as a hope-filled new beginning. There will always be a role for you as past president—mentor, leader, cheerleader and friend.
As devoted League members, you will always, “Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute. Speak out, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.” (Proverbs 31. 8-9)
God bless,
Margaret Ann Jacobs

This was on June 3 rd this year. It originated in 1246 when Robert de Torote, bishop of Liege, ordered the festival in his diocese. He was persuaded by a powerful woman, Saint Juliana, prioress of Mont Cornillon from 1222-1258.
I hope you will all enjoy a more normal summer. I actually met two vaccinated friends for lunch yesterday at an indoor restaurant, the. Went for a long walk down Wellington Crescent which has no car traffic all week. Watering is another huge pastime, as we have had so little precipitation.
I will end with the beauty from Our Creator- wildflowers from near my home photographed last week. E joy those little hidden jewels of life!
I am looking forward to see you all,again this sizzling summer. Reminder if you have a phone buddy to let them know this information.
Blessings!
Anne
