Season’s Greetings! Good day, CSSSW members. We are eager to present our second winter quarterly newsletter! As you may recall, this fall, we put a call out for volunteers to help with the newsletter. With this edition, we are delighted to announce and introduce our new newsletter committee: Meghann Cant, MSc, BSW, and Sarah Ritchie, BSW candidate. Meghann works in the animal welfare sector in advocacy, education, research, and policy, and comes to CSSSW with a background in science and social work. Sarah, in the fourth year of the BSW program at the University of Regina, has a background in infant and early childhood mental health and youth care work. Her areas of focus are gender-based violence, harm reduction, policy, advocacy, and activism. In this issue, you will find details on our upcoming conference, some teasers from our society history project, a recorded meditation, and more! If you know someone interested in becoming a CSSSW member, please invite them to visit the membership section of our website. Membership fees are currently being waived until June 20, 2022.

 SPREAD THE WORD!
We are seeking enthusiastic volunteers on the ground in Halifax, and those at a distance to work remotely, for an enriching and creative conference! Please consider joining one or more of the many committees: - Hospitality (food, hotels, residences) - Sponsorships/fundraising - Communications, marketing/advertising - Special event and program planning The CSSSW is committed to being inclusive. CSSSW acknowledges there are numerous and diverse ways of knowing, being and practicing spirituality, which range from expressions of spirituality independent of specific belief systems, to those intertwined with religious beliefs and/or cultures. Some of these activities/traditions may overlap, and others are independent of each other. The aim in CSSSW is to provide opportunities for diverse, respectful, and safer expressions of spirituality. |
