As part of the proceedings, we asked each person present to stand has the names were read. In addition, the places where each person began a journey in the past few days was mentioned, and noted on a map (using pins of various colours).
They have come from all over this land: from as far away as Victoria, Nelson, Prince George and Vancouver; from Grouard-McLennan, Saint-Paul and Edmonton; from Regina, Prince Albert and Saskatoon; from Winnipeg; from Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Pembroke Alexandria-Cornwall, Ottawa, and Toronto; from Saint John, Moncton, Halifax, St. John's, Grand Falls and Corner Brook and Labrador; and of course from Charlottetown.
The map will remain for the rest of the week, as a visible sign of the diversity of those who grace our tables. Now that we're here, the work can begin, always tempered with just the right amount of play, just for the sake of balance.
