The best concise summary I've heard all week about this came from a justice team member who writes:
"The turnout for this event was very good considering the beautiful weather on a Saturday afternoon [and the competition with our local Esquimalt Buccaneer Day!] Both speakers were excellent, audience contributions very thoughtful, the food delicious and plentiful, and the exhibits most interesting. A truly first class educational event."
If you missed the event you can listen to the presentations by Robert Massoud and Rabbi David Mivasair
