That's unfortunate. Jim, can you ask her for the list of alternative speakers she's offered (we wouldn't be obliged to go with one of them but it'd be useful to have).?

I just received this from Bilan Arte. This affects the second of the roundtables. I’m going to suggest that the roundtable subcommittee (which included Paul, Scott, David and myself, I believe) talk about it in a couple of days. In the meantime, if anybody has any ideas about how to replace her, please forward them to a member of this group.

Thanks, Jim

I must regretfully inform you that I cannot be part of this roundtable anymore. I had booked my flights and had every intention on coming, but unfortunately the federal government has scheduled a national summit on disability and work for the exact same day. We just received notice for this summit, and I am the subject matter expert at the CLC so I must prioritize attending this event.

I am very sorry for any consequences for my late cancellation. If it is helpful at all, I can prepare a list of alternative speakers that would be great on this topic from the national labour movement. Please let me know if you would find this useful.

My sincerest apologies,

Bilan

Hi everybody!

We would like everyone speaking at the Winnipeg General Strike Centenary Conference either on regular panels or on the roundtables to send a short (maximum 30 word) bio of themselves for the printed conference program.

Send your bio to 1919strikeconference@BrandonU.camailto:1919strikeconference@BrandonU.ca. To help us keep track of everyone, please put your name in the subject line, e.g. “Jim Naylor – Bio”.

Please do this as soon as possible, but by Friday, April 12 at the very latest.

Thank you for your cooperation, Jim Naylor Chair Winnipeg General Strike Centenary Conference Committee
