Overview:

The C'nR working group was formed by a minute of CYM 2004 (see below) to consult with Friends and attenders throughout Canada regarding the functioning of our Yearly Meeting. Friends anticipate that our Yearly Meeting may change in the foreseeable future because of:

• increasing costs,
• the concern to leave as faint an ecological footprint as possible,
• the desire to make our Yearly Meeting a more vital part of the lives of Canadian Friends, and
• difficulties inherent in our current structure.

This consultation process is meant to involve all Friends in making our Yearly Meeting a more nurturing and vibrant faith community in the 21st century.
Please work with us in this exciting and challenging process.
