SUMMARY:Confronting Concentration—2022 National Convention
DESCRIPTION:The National Farmers Union’s 53rd National Convention Confronting Concentration will confront corporate concentration in our food systems\, together in Saskatoon\, or from the comfort of your own home. The NFU is eager to host an array of diverse change-makers\, experts\, and organizers to the convention. Find our program highlights here.  \nRegister to attend either in person in Saskatoon or from wherever you are\, virtually. A sliding scale of registration fees exist for members\, BIPOC\, Youth\, Students and Farmworker folks and for non-members.  \nAfter two years of an online convention\, we’ve learned how to make the best of it\, but we’re so excited to finally have the option to be together in person again. Lifelong friendships\, connections and community have been built for over 50 years\, and those relationships are what are at the core of organizing and change making. We’d love to have new people attend the Convention and participate in pre-convention Caucus meetings. Please share with any of your friends who might be interested.  \nIn solidarity!

SUMMARY:IPC Caucus Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The IPC Caucus meeting happening at the NFU Convention on November 22nd at 7Pm AT / 6pm EST / 5pm CT / 4pm MST / 3pm PT. (zoom link below). \nAyla Fenton\, Maddie Marmor and Amber Dyk are looking forward to facilitating and hosting the meeting. \nThe goals for this meeting are: \n\n\nTo deepen relationships amongst IPC members and amongst IPC Working Groups. \n\n\nTo learn about work that the three working groups have done over the past year. \n\n\nTo generate creative discussion about how to best use IPC space\, time and capacity. Specifically\, when to do internal cross pollination work (and report backs) and when to do international/LVC work. \n\n\nTo run a meeting in a particular way that could act as a blueprint or initial format for how we do the cross-pollination work going forwards. \n\n\n  \nThe basic structure of the day will look like:  \n\n\nSharing of Vision\, Mission and Goals \n\n\nThree Working Groups share (10 mins each) \n\n\nRelationships building process (40mins) \n\n\nReflect on this cross pollination meeting \n\n\nWe hope attendees consider that this meeting will be run a little differently than a typical NFU meeting. We’ll be inviting folks to share not just what they’ve been up to this year but also how it impacted them personally. Storytelling\, relationship building\, cross pollination and collective learning through reflection are the big ideas that we are building the program for the day from. Please consider preparing to participate in the way that works best for you to be present for the big ideas\, big feelings and big goals we hope to talk about together! \n  \nPlease reach out to Amber at amber.dyck93@gmail.com with any questions or concerns. \n~~~~~~ \nIPC is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nTopic: IPC Caucus meeting at convention\nTime: Nov 22\, 2022 06:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)\n(7Pm AT / 6pm EST / 5pm CT / 4pm MST / 3pm PT.) \n Join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87676398157?pwd=dnFnV3I4NE9ncDV1S1k2bmJ1QXZrUT09 \nMeeting ID: 876 7639 8157\nPasscode: 509664\nOne tap mobile\n+15873281099\,\,87676398157#\,\,\,\,*509664# Canada\n+16473744685\,\,87676398157#\,\,\,\,*509664# Canada \nDial by your location\n        +1 587 328 1099 Canada\n        +1 647 374 4685 Canada\n        +1 647 558 0588 Canada\n        +1 778 907 2071 Canada\n        +1 780 666 0144 Canada\n        +1 204 272 7920 Canada\n        +1 438 809 7799 Canada\nMeeting ID: 876 7639 8157\nPasscode: 509664\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kdTA9PrHKX

SUMMARY:NFU Region 6 Picnic at Gardiner Dam
DESCRIPTION:A warm hello from your Region 6 Executive/Advisory Council. \nWe hope your crop is growing and you can take a day off to join us at Gardiner Dam at the north end of Lake Diefenbaker for a day of visiting\, sharing a potluck lunch\, and hearing two short presentations. It promises to be a really fun day! Mark your calendar for Sunday July 31st for the NFU Picnic. Gardiner Dam is 108 km from Saskatoon\, 211 km from Regina\, 201 km from Swift Current. \nEntry to the Park and picnic area is free for those 65 and up or with a Provincial Parks seasonal pass\, otherwise it is $10/car. Our event will be near the Visitor Centre \nFor overnight stays\, there are two nearby campsites. Danielson Provincial Park is full service ($33/night) and Caldwell Park with no water or electricity ($20/night). Camping permits are available at the Visitor Centre (open 9 to 5 p.m. phone 1-306-857-5500). There are motels in Outlook or Elbow as well. \nOur gathering will be on the grassy treed area on the beach by the Visitor Centre. No pets are allowed on the beach. Sun shelters can be erected if anyone has such an item. Bring comfortable chairs and if you can transport a folding table\, that could be useful\, as others may be using the picnic tables. Bring your bathing suit if you’d like to go for a swim – the beach and lake are very inviting. \nPotluck is at 12 noon. Last year the food at our potluck was fantastic so it will be worth the trip to share in the delicious offerings. If the weather is inclement\, we will move inside to the theatre. \nOur program will include a presentation highlighting the 60th Anniversary of Medicare and a presentation critiquing the Lake Diefenbaker irrigation and water diversion mega project. We will be able to visit an irrigation canal and hear details of present-day water use for irrigation. Speakers will be announced closer to the day. \nWe also encourage everyone to take some time to visit the displays and watch a video to learn more of the history and geography of the area\, the lake and the dams. \nSo good folks\, if you have a hankering for an outing while summer is at its best\, pack some food\, your lawn chairs and what you need to enjoy the water. Invite your friends and NFU members and head out to Gardiner Dam early on Sunday July 31st. The day promises to be interesting and a lot of fun! We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
