I continue teaching, offering workshops throughout the year when I am not touring. You can read a list
of available workshops and description details in the
Teacher's Lounge section.
I will also be offering a workshop series titled
"Reach Out Dramatically" which
will be used to raise money for relief work for poor communities in Haiti
and Jamaica. Workshops for this program are available throughout the
Spring and fall of 2010.
Other
Projects
Third
World Awareness. I continue my work with this terrific
organization and returned from Haiti in May '10. Our group does relief work in developing
countries in the Caribbean. I am on the Executive Committee and fund raising for
earthquake relief, including a food project and school renovation in Cite Soleil.
Green Party of Canada
Trinity-Spadina Greens
I am a member of the
Green Party and the nominated candidate for the Federal Riding of
Trinity-Spadina. I am also the International Cooperation/CIDA critic
for the Green Party shadow cabinet. Although not successful in the
recent election we did improve our voting percentage and gained a
significant increase in support. 9% of the vote. I intend to
run in the next federal election. At present I am co-organizing the Green
Party of Canada National Convention coming up in August 2010 here in
Toronto.

I have worked on the committee of Make Poverty History here in Trinity-Spadina
Toronto. I encourage everyone to get involved with the national
campaign and any local campaigns in your area. Do not let political
candidates off the hook. Make them speak up and be counted.
Make Poverty History

I am volunteering for the Canadian Department of Peace
Initiative Toronto Chapter. The first ever legislative Bill for
a Department of Peace in the Canadian Parliament, BILL C-447, was tabled
on Sept. 30, 2009 in the Parliament as a Private Members Bill by the NDP
MP Bill Siksay (Douglas-Burnaby), and seconded by the Liberal MP Jim
Karygiannis (Scarborough-Agincourt). The Bill calls for a Federal
Department of Peace, headed by a Cabinet level Minister.
