The Afternoon of the Saskatchewan Youth Summit 2007
Part 5 - Session 2 - Saskatchewan in 2020

This session was a lot more focused than the first one that I went to, which was surprising given the fact that there was a lot more diversity in the opinions that were offered. The idea behind this session was to talk about what Saskatchewan should be like in 2020. We went through a brainstorming session and identified a few core ideas that came out of that, specifically things like sustainability and value-added services. We ended up after some debate coming to a core statement around which we based our recommendations to the stakeholders:

"Move forward passionately and collectively to build innovatively an inclusive community and self-perpetuated (value-added) low (no, sustainabile!) impact economy."
Wow, is that ever a jumble of words, but I'm proud to say I had quite a bit of input into the matter. There were a lot of very motivated and passionate people in the room and it was good to have some mostly-civilised brainstorming into what we want this place to be in the future. There were some crazies in the crowd but we all ended up mostly in the right direction, which was good to see.
