The day will begin with a keynote from Kathleen Wynne, minister of education. Wynne will speak about the important role parents play in the education system and how their involvement can support learning. Thirty workshops are scheduled with topics ranging from Internet safety and homework strategies to bullying and collaborative problem solving. The second keynote speaker is Steve Nease, creator of Pud Comics and an award-winning editorial cartoonist. Child minding is available upon request for children three years and older. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Parents and community members can register online at http://info.hdsb.ca/picreg. Dying with Dignity workshop Friday Dying with Dignity -- a discussion on end of life issues and a workshop on creating a living will will be held Friday, Oct. 23. Hosted by the Halton-Peel Humanist Society (HPHC), the free event is at 7 p.m. in the Acorn Grill at Oakville Town Hall, 1225 Trafalgar Rd. Guest speaker is Ruth von Fuchs, president of the Right to Die Society. There will also be discussion of the private member's Bill C-384 on the topic. The meeting is open to all and involves a topic organizers believe is not well understood or approached by society, but which has major implications for wellbeing and the health care system. The legal liabilities of caregivers and medical professionals preclude them from making any significant decisions on a person's behalf. If you approach the world from a scientific analytic position without the use of supernatural entities; act with compassion and accept responsibility for your acts of commission and of omission, you are likely a humanist. HPHC is part of the Humanist Association of Canada and meets on the third Tuesday of each month for socializing and discussion. For more information about Fuchs, visit www.righttodie.ca.
