Jo Nelson taught Group Facilitation and Facilitated Planning in Calgary. She also began conversation with Treaty 6's Education Department - a First Nations Territory in Alberta - about a large group planning session.

Wayne added web pages on Recommended Reading,  IAF facilitator certification as well as several focused conversations that can be downloaded to our website.

We began conversations with several new clients and we've had several referrals from past clients for courses and facilitation work. A Health Quality Council asked us for a series of in house courses for their staff based of referrals from others in the health system.

International Institute of Social Artistry has granted ICA Nepal a micro fund to start micro grants projects on SA projects in Nepal through Robertson Work International Fund for SA.  Dr. Jean Houston is also planning to conduct a 10 day long trainers training on SA in Nepal for 150 participants this year.

ICAI:

Location: Montréal

Everyone at ICA International is working on developing a presence in Montreal - Mike has been liaising with Montreal International to organize the office launch, at which many ICAs will be represented.  Jane has been contacting local organizations who might be interested in supporting the training program, and Sarah has met with local organizations who will host members from national ICAs in work placements during the training program.  Katie has found a car rental alternative which supports the local community. 

The entire team has reached out to families in Montreal and we now have eager and friendly hosts to orient training participants to life in Canada
