<P>AND:</P>
<P>KAIROS Canada is preparing the background information for a group of
denominational leaders of Canadian churches who will tour the Athabasca Tar
Sands in the Spring of 2009. Sara Stratton, Campaigns Co-ordinator, & Ed
Bianchi, Aboriginal Rights Program Co-ordinator, will be in Alberta just
before our gathering, collecting information to be part of KAIROS'
package for the Church Leaders' tour. They and some resource people of
their choice will present a Forum on the Tar Sands all day long on our opening
day, Oct. 3. The attached info contains a full page poster detailing the Forum
(also copied in below). Its focus on ethical / theological / ecological aspects
of Tar Sands exploitation is unique, and should be of special interest to
Christians and our friends who share a concern for the effects of such
developments on the human condition. Attendance and meals, etc. are a free gift
to all present that day. However, if you come from afar & need to travel and
have overnight accomodation, those costs will be your own. We expect some rooms
to be available at the Christian Life Centre, & our registration form allows
you to select the third night if that is your desire.</P>
