An amazing success.
After EMO cancelled their plans to host the annual Provincial Emergency Management Conference, the Red Cross (Ontario Zone) stepped in with only two months to go and they did a great job. Having been at many emergency management conferences, this one would rate at the very top. The organization was well done, the speakers were interesting, the program was jam packed, and the networking was great. Of course, Deerhurst is a wonderful place for a conference.
Congratulations to John Saunders (conference advisor), Annie Burke (conference chair), Tammy Fedick (registration), Jean Lodge (program), and Jack Lodge (logistics) and all of their volunteer support for a job well done. Special thanks to Jean and Jack Lodge for the evening of entertainment. Annie deserves a special round of applause for her leadership.
The Red Cross demonstrated in so many ways, through the successful rescuing of this conference, how they can be counted on. Ron, you have a great team.
