I'd like to thank The Canadian Unity Council and in particular Richard Jameson of YIPYAP for inviting us to the Atlantic Young Leaders Workshop.
Not knowing what to expect I was pleasantly surprised by the vision brought forward by the speakers. In particular Bernard Lord, Premier of New Brunswick was refreshingly frank in his discussion with us about the tough decisions that have to be made as Premier, and really impressed me as a contemporary leader with vision for his province. Our own Premier Pat Binns gave a genuinely interesting account of the history of Atlantic Canada and how political agreements and trade patterns impacted the economic climate. Other inspiring speakers included Parker Mitchell, the young CEO of Engineers Without Borders who spoke on social responsibility. He and was also a group discussion leader along with local businessman and successful entreprenurTim Banks of APM in the breakout discussion sessions. My thanks and congratulations to all for such a productive and successful workshop.
