May 12, 2005 - 11:04pm | by Anonymous

This weekend, several Keewaytinook Okimakanak and CRACIN members are planning to attend Canadian Commission for UNESCO's conference:
"Paving the Road to Tunis - WSIS II: Canada's Civil Society Views on the Geneva Plan of Action and the Prospects for Phase II."

The Keewaytinook Okimakanak team is made up of Keewaywin's Chief Raymond Mason, Brian Beaton and Dan Pellerin from K-Net. Among the CRACINites heading to Winnipeg are Andrew Clement, Michael Gurstein, Christie Hurrell, Rob Mastin, Marita Moll, Leslie Shade, Randall Terada and someone from Communautique. 

For those attending, Keewaytinook Okimakanak has a table in the Exhibition area, as does CRACIN.  Drop by to say hello.

For those not attending, you may want to catch the webcasts of  the conference dinner keynote speech by Ann Medina on Friday, as well as the conference plenaries on Saturday and Sunday. This is made possible using the Macromedia Breeze application courtesy of K-Net with CRACIN's Christie Hurrell as the webcaster. The live text chat built into Breeze will
allow for some interaction with the event.
