National Victims of Crime Awareness Week 2009

National Victims of Crime Awareness Week 2009 is happening in Ottawa from April 26-May 2. This year's theme is "Supporting, Connecting, Evolving". I just registered for the federal Symposium April 27, 2009 which is taking place at The Crowne Plaza Hotel, Ottawa. This one-day federal symposium on current and upcoming issues for victims of crime will be the official launch of National Victims of Crime Awareness Week.

Registration for the federal Symposium is free and includes access to all plenary sessions and workshops. You'll even get a complimentary continental breakfast, coffee breaks and lunch! They're saying space is limited so you need to register as soon as possible. For more information on the federal Symposium and to register, go to http://www.victimsweek.gc.ca/. The deadline for registration is April 17, 2009.

Help spread the word on this important event by passing this info along to friends and colleagues. If you're going to go, let me know and perhaps we can meet?

Where does the time go?

It's been forever since I've posted on this blog and it's not for lack of thinking about it. Rather, it's been life pulling me in a million directions. Hence my statement re life being busy! Up until recently my blogging efforts were with my past employer at Sitebrand. On this blog (view it here), I wrote about e-commerce and all things online. I wrote posts about how to increase online sales and that type of thing. I enjoyed writing those posts, but I'm really glad to be back on my own as an ind. consultant because now I've got the liberty to blog about something that's much more personal to me here on the PowerNoParole.ca blog which is dedicated to the memory of my sister Sheryl Gardner. It's also dedicated to helping make sense of Canada's criminal justice system.

Just wanted to say I'm back! And I'll be posting again soon!
