Conflict Resolution Day 2016
Celebrating 10 Years!

Picture

​

Summary

There were 10 events held across the province in 2016 to celebrate Conflict Resolution Day. A total of 97 individuals participated in 6 workshops held in  5 locations - Calgary, Edmonton, Grande Prairie, Medicine Hat, and Strathcona County.


This year the planning committee hosted its first ADR Information Fair in Edmonton;  a showcase of ADR services and providers for Albertans. The event held in downtown Edmonton attracted many members of the public to learn more about ADR and its many benefits.

Participant feedback about the events overall were that the workshop was very relevant and helpful to both their personal and professional lives. The most consistent theme for where improvements could be made was that participants wanted more time for learning and role plays.

A list of events and workshops that occurred are listed below.
