Greetings from LifeRing:
First of all, I would like to personally congratulate Martin Nicolaus a founding member of LifeRing and author of Empowering Your Sober Self and Recovery By Choice. All of us at LifeRing are profoundly grateful to you for everything you’ve done to bring secular recovery by choice into our lives!
It’s been a wonderful Summer and LifeRing has been busy running meetings, looking for other convenors, and getting ready for our upcoming Annual General Conference. This year we are happy to meet in person after a couple of years of health restrictions. Our meeting will be held at the CEED Centre Society Heritage Building in Maple Ridge, BC on Sunday, November 6th. There is a hefty agenda, with lots of great topics for both the current board, and the new board that will be decided as per our standards of elections.
We continue to grow LifeRing right across Canada with two more face-to-face meetings. Both of these meetings are located in Ontario; one in Toronto at HQ Toronto at 790 Bay Street, this face-to-face meeting is focussed with our 2S/LGBTQ1A+ community. Our second face-to-face meeting is at the House of Friendship Men’s Shelter, located at 63 Charles Street East. Another new group is on Facebook – LifeRing By Choice, which you can join if interested. We are very excited to broaden our focus and grow our LifeRing community. Let’s keep it growing!!
We continue to canvass for additional convenors, as more facilities are looking to start meetings. It’s only a few hours a month, and it feels great to give back. Reach out to any of us to find out more or send an email to info@liferingcanada.org.
As members of the LifeRing Community, what do you want to see, do you have suggestions that we should know about? As we grow LifeRing Canada it is important that our community participants know we are there and want to hear from you.
