The following are
feedback involving the Sharing Resources
conferences/projects on Child Poverty.
The Honourable Gilbert Parent,
Speaker of the House of Commons
" I think it is a good
idea that young Canadians can come together in this
way from the four corners of Canada and seriously
consider one of the major areas where we can improve
our nation, that is, to eradicate child poverty. And I
think it is excellent that they have given some
concrete suggestions that the government can follow.
Specifically, I will ensure that our Prime Minister
and Cabinet get your Report and encourage them to read
it and in that way, hopefully some concrete action can
take place in the not-so-distant future. "
George Poroznoy, Dean,
University of Winnipeg, Faculty of Continuing
Education
"You are doing everything
here, that we have been talking about in the faculty
and in the educational field for years. It's hands-on,
experimental learning with a high degree of
integration of technology. "
The Honourable Jean Chretien,
Prime Minister of Canada
" When confronted with
important issues of the day, people have three
choices: lead, follow or get out of the way. While in
every generation most people select the latter two,
its is clear by their participation in The Students
Commission that the delegates have chosen the first.
On behalf of the people of Canada, I thank you, and
them. "
Dr. Inez, Special projects
Officer, Ontario Ministry of Education and Training,
Outreach, and Anti-Racism, Access and
Equity
" Someone should capture
your process. We can all learn from what you are
doing. It's a whole new way of thinking, of
communicating and of working collaboratively in a
hands-on way to create effective educational materials
and programs. "
Don McCreesh, VP Human
Resources, Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce
"You have to take
ownership of the outcomes if you want to have an
impact. I've learned over the past few years that for
change to be initiated and stick, it must be driven by
those who are involved and those who are committed.
Through the means of modern communication, I did have
a chance to look at some of the early versions of your
recommendations and I want to congratulate you for the
excellent caliber of your report. "
Dale Shuttleworth, Executive
Director, The Center for Community & Economic
Renewal
" You are and exemplary
model of hands-on, active learning, a concrete example
of Peter Drucker's Third Sector Enterprise. It's
models like this that are going to help people move
forward into dealing with the enormous changes
underway in our society. You are a demonstration model
of excellence which people can see and identify with;
you have concrete results through your publications
and skills development programs. You showcase
innovation, creativity, maximum use of resources,
magnified by passion and commitment. "
Jakeet Singh,
Student
" What sets our work apart
is that it's unique. It's us. It comes from the heart
of what we do and our experience. What really sets it
apart is how effective it's going to be and how young
people are going to relate to it. "
