Pre-Legislative Sessions
​
​
Pre-legislative discussions help build democracy by encouraging all stakeholders (that's you!) to ask questions and give comments on proposed legislation. Everyone benefits when greater perspective is shared.

Important background information was presented to help prepare delegates for voting. Each person has the opportunity to affect how legislation is processed and seeing the best solutions developed.

With discussions taking place prior to the business meeting, voting members had time ahead of conference day to discern what makes the most sense. Business meetings can be lengthy and tedious at the best of times, but with an effective pre-legislative sessions, they can be greatly streamlined. 

What is your vested interest in Canada East Mission Centre and/or your congregation? These sessions are for everyone - and you have a voice!

Prelegislative sessions took place Oct 18/19th
