ASEC Conference continued...

On day two of the Conference, University of Winnipeg President, Lloyd Axworthy, addressed the theme that education creates opportunities for all learners at whatever level. He introduced his remarks by describing several international and national incidents that shaped his views. He then enumerated programs and concepts in practice at his university that reflect his philosophy and assist inner city residents of all backgrounds to move into the mainstream of Manitoba life.

Specialized workshops and networking opportunities for teachers in ALC’s across the province made the conference a valuable addition to participants’ professional development.

The next ASEC executive was elected at the very brief AGM. Marc Schaeffer, now past president of ASEC, and others on the hard working executive received accolades for their dedication to the goals of the organization and the successes that they had authored.
