What CANDIL has been up to

Julie was busy organizing the fundraiser. Posters are in and need to be put up and tickets are now available (Note: Later in the month, Hans von Sponeck had to cancel for medical reasons. We have postponed the event for a later date).

Julie presented to the Council of Canadians on the Black Flag Campaign and had some challenges to CANDIL's position on Iraq, but defended our views quite readily. She also presented at the U of C to the International Social Work graduate studies class and had a student approach her with regards to doing a practicum with Candil. She suggested this person do a proposal for us and we would review it.She rounded up the month by presenting at a few more schools.

A black flag making session was held on Saturday, February 12 at Parkdale United church for the March 19th rally.

CANDIL's meetings with Calgary MP's will continue in March. At the meetings, CANDIL's stance on the continuing illegal occupation of Iraq was made clear to the MP's.

Non-Standard Issue for March will focus on the second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. The next issue will be in May and will be focusing on Tibet.

In January, at the movie night, we showed Coca Mama and was a great success. We had about 40 people out.

CANDIL is producing t-shirts for the Black Flag Campaign and to remember the civilian casulities. They were designed and produced by Moksha (Liberate your soul). Contact info@candil.ca if you are interested in purchasing one.
Moksha Designs (the t shirt supplier) is holding a pub night at Brewster's Pub on March 31 to raise money for Candil.
