Gall Conference

The John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights (JHC) is hosting the 2nd annual Gall Conference next Tuesday, December 10, at the University of Alberta. I attended the disability panel last year and it was really great, and I would encourage everyone to check the conference out!

This year's theme is the state of economic rights in Alberta. Breakout panels include:

     Working the Margins: Edmonton Poverty Elimination Initiative
     The Right to Work: Employment for Persons Living with a Disability     The Kids aren’t Alright: The Realities and Challenges of Child Poverty     Today’s Misnomer: Equal Access to Justice?

For more information, check out the JHC's page here, and you can register here. Registration fees are $150, but if cost is a barrier for you, email the JHC at info@jhcentre.org and they will work something out with you.
