The Common Table was formed in February 2005 in an effort to promote collaboration in advocacy and the delivery of services to children and families. Terms of reference and recommendations were struck and interest in the Common Table continues to grow among many provincial stakeholders and grassroots agencies.
The Common Table forum will bring together policy developers and advocates from across the province to discuss the implementation of the group's recommendations. The forum will also be addressing the province's Best Start Plan and how the recommendations can affect it.
This important all-day provincial forum will include workshops and an expert panel. The Hon. Mary Anne Chambers, Minister for Children and Youth Services, has also been invited to address the forum.
