Panelists were: Jack Kugelmass MSW RSW, Social Worker, Member of Holy Blossom Temple; Dr. Mary Marrocco, Commission on Faith and Witness – Canadian Council of Churches; Danial Akif, Vice-President Internal – Muslim Students’ Association; session moderated by Amy Panton, PhD candidate – Emmanuel College.

NMCLC presented awards to Karen Teasdale and Barbara Siddiqui, 2 long-standing members who embodied the mission and vision of NMCLC. Barbara and Karen have offered to the committee, and the wider interfaith community, not only their individual commitment, insight, skills and knowledge, but also a model of deep and enduring friendship across the lines of faith, and they brought that mutual support into the work of the committee.
