Congratulations Global Citizens of 2008
Since 1991 the Global Citizens Awards have been an opportunity for our members and community to recognize those among us who
have provided leadership and inspiration. SCIC is pleased to announce
that the 2008 Saskatchewan Global Citizens Awards will go to the
following individuals:
Priscilla Settee
An
educator, intellectual, activist and writer, Priscilla has been a
trailblazer in developing global solidarity within and between
aboriginal communities and non aboriginal communities.
Priscilla’ssolidarity work has spanned continents from Africa to Latin
America to the South Pacific, and she has also worked at home in
Saskatchewan confronting systemic racism and building bridges of
solidarity.
South Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan Friends of Burma
 The
rest of the world took notice of Burma when 10,000 Buddhist monks
marched to protest human rights abuses in 2007. But a small group of
people in Saskatchewan have been watching and supporting the quiet
struggle of the people of Burma for years. The days of Canadian support
for the brutal military leaders of Burma are waning, while the days of
support for democracy are dawning—and Saskatchewan Friends of Burma has
played, and continues to play, a vital role in making this shift
possible.
My Teacher is a Global Citizen
Sheelah McLean
According
to the Active Global Citizenship 30 class at Bedford Road Collegiate,
Sheelah McLean is a motivating and inclusive teacher and role model for
all who have the privilege of her company and mentorship. She is a
pioneer in her field, going where no educator has ever gone before by
creating, from the ground up, a 30 level accredited high school course
called Applied Global Citizenship 30.
