Conference 2006 Report

PROVINCIAL CARING PARTNERSHIPS COMMITTEE
Victims of Family Violence in our
Communities; Knowledge, Support
and Empowerment
A Report of the Networking Conference of the Provincial Caring
Partnerships Committee (PCPC)
nd
November 22 to November 24th 2006, Fredericton, New Brunswick
1
The Provincial Caring Partnerships Committee (PCPC) is a network of New
Brunswick ‘caring communities’ taking grassroots action to inform and educate the
public about family violence issues and solutions. This organization has been in existence
in New Brunswick for the past thirteen years and is currently chaired by Dr. Deborah
Doherty of Public Legal Education Information Services, N.B. The provincial committee
is comprised of dedicated volunteer representatives from community, non profit agencies
and government departments. PCPC acts as a catalyst to support ‘caring communities’
across New Brunswick by offering resources, support and networking opportunities for
family violence awareness and prevention initiatives. Each ‘caring community’ has
created partnerships among local groups, businesses, service clubs, social agencies and
individuals who are concerned about family violence and its wide spread effects
throughout society.
Conference Goals
This is the fourth conference organized by PCPC. The mandate of this conference
was to share current information on family violence issues and to provide networking
opportunities for those involved in ‘caring community’ activities for the prevention of
family violence within the province of New Brunswick. We are pleased to report that the
2006 conference was very successful.
The theme of this conference was “Victims of Family Violence in our
Communities; Knowledge, Support and Empowerment.” Community groups often
state that lack of access to updated information and educational opportunities, lack of
sharing and networking opportunities and limited available funding are all factors that
hinder community efforts for family violence prevention and awareness at the grass roots
2
level. This networking conference aimed to help volunteers and professionals from the
community and within government to expand our knowledge about family violence
prevention and communicate information relating to new initiatives and to share
resources. The goals of the conference were;
•
To offer a broad range of information relating to new community and government
initiatives in New Brunswick for victims of Family Violence;
•
To support and foster community partnerships with the common goal of family
violence prevention;
•
To expand the provincial base of volunteers and professionals knowledgeable
about Family violence prevention and have discussion about the sharing of
resources;
•
To bring together New Brunswick people from different sectors and backgrounds
and provide networking opportunities for those who are concerned about family
violence prevention;
•
To have a conference that is inclusive to all New Brunswickers, with
simultaneous translation services for francophone and Anglophone participants
and topics that covered family violence prevention for people of diverse cultural
groups.
Conference Planning Committee
Susan Gavin, representing the Department of Justice and Consumer Affairs,
Province of New Brunswick chaired the conference planning committee. The
organization of this conference was done collaboratively with active PCPC team
3
members; Janice Clowater, Department of Public Safety, Community & Correctional
Services; Lindsay Manuel, CHIMO and Mary Louise Wood, Canadian Red Cross.
Therese Murray, representing the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Foundation later joined the
committee meetings and lent her planning expertise to the group. This committee was
assisted by Guy Vienneau, a part time community animator hired by PCPC for a one year
project. The conference was co-hosted by the Woodstock PCPC Caring Community as
represented by Marisa Pelkey, Department of Public Safety. Most members of the
planning committee met approximately once per week in person and by conference call
between July and November 2006.
Publicity and Promotion: (See Appendix A)
The PCPC community animator, Guy Vienneau was delegated the responsibility
to promote the conference. It was publicised widely across the province through various
media. The Conference was promoted in a new PCPC electronic newsletter (Caring
Communities News - September/Septembre 2006 - Nouvelles des Communautés à
Coeur). Mr. Vienneau also contacted media outlets across New Brunswick and circulated
conference announcements to agencies on the attached communications list. (See
Appendix A). Conference planning committee members also circulated announcements
about the conference through professional contacts, government and community
networks and on e-mail lists. Rogers’s television and a local Fredericton newspaper, the
Daily Gleaner, were present during the conference for interviews. CBC Radio-Canada
interviewed Mr. Vienneau in Moncton prior to the conference. A photocopy of an article
in the Daily Gleaner is attached to the paper copy of this report.

Conference Reception (See Appendix B; Reception Program).
The conference opened with a reception which took place at Centre
Communautaire Sainte-Anne, Fredericton, N.B. on the evening of November 22nd, 2006.
This event was organized with the goal of giving conference participants the opportunity
to meet and network prior to the conference. The reception was included in the price of
the conference registration. Two PCPC members offered to act as the co-hosts for the
reception, Lindsay Manuel of CHIMO and Marisa Pelkey of the Woodstock Caring
Community who welcomed the guests. Several dignitaries had been invited to give a brief
speech at the Reception including; the Honourable Carmel Robichaud, Minister
rresponsible for the Status of Women, Family and Community Services who gave
opening remarks. The Attorney General and Minister of Justice and Consumer Affairs,
the Honourable T.J. Burke, followed with further comments about the importance of
Family Violence prevention in our province. Jim Carter, Assistant Deputy Minister of
Community & Correctional Services represented the honourable John Foran, Minister of
the department of Public Safety who was unable to attend. Deputy Mayor Scott
McConaghy spoke to the group on behalf of Mayor Brad Woodside of the City of
Fredericton.
Following the speeches by the invited dignitaries, Dr. Deborah Doherty, Chair of
the PCPC committee gave a brief history of the organization. Susan Gavin, conference
chairperson spoke about the goals and mandate of the 2006 PCPC conference and
introduced the entertainer for the evening. A local actor, Robbie O’Neill gave a dramatic
performance called ‘Tighten the Traces’. This was a moving enactment of the life of a
man named Leo Kennedy who developed Cerebral Palsy and overcame many hardships
5
including discrimination. The audience was moved to laughter and tears and thoroughly
enjoyed this performance. Upon the conclusion of the performance, refreshments were
served and several of those in attendance enjoyed the food and meeting other conference
participants. The Reception was planned to encourage conference participants to meet
and network among each other in a relaxed and entertaining atmosphere. From the reports
of those who were present and based upon the outcomes of the evaluation forms, our
goals were accomplished successfully.
Conference Organization: (See Appendix C- Agenda)
The conference was one and one half days long. The conference format was
organized with panel presentations to provide a maximum amount of information on a
wide range of family violence topics. Each Panel consisted of 3 to 4 presenters and was
facilitated by PCPC Committee members. Time was allotted for questions at the end of
each panel presentation. Each facilitator was asked to make personal contact with their
panel presenters prior to their presentations to introduce themselves and confirm their
allotted time. (Appendix D- Facilitator’s Agenda). Facilitators were also expected to
assist the presenters to remain within their allotted time. The speakers were selected on
the basis of recommendations from the conference planning committee and their
professional contacts. The committee had decided to invite speakers who lived and
worked in New Brunswick rather than recruit presenters from outside of the province.
The masters of ceremonies for the conference were Lindsay Manuel, CHIMO and
Marisa Pelkey, Woodstock Caring Community. Following the introductions, RCMP
constable Doug Lockhart was thanked for arranging the use of the RCMP Headquarters
facilities for the conference. Dr. Deborah Doherty, chairperson of PCPC gave a brief
6
historical overview of the PCPC organization. One of the dignitaries who were
unavailable to attend the Conference reception, Mayor Frank Dunn of the Village of New
Maryland, shared a few opening remarks. The Co-hosts acknowledged and welcomed the
Silent Witnesses from the Silent Witness Project which were positioned in various
locations within the conference room.
An important arrangement for the well being of the participants at this conference
was a wellness room located within close proximity to the main conference room.
Participants were reminded throughout the conference that if they felt the need to recover
from emotional distress as a result of the information being presented at the conference,
that they were welcome to use the wellness room. Designated conference planning
committee members who had prior trauma training volunteered to check the wellness
room periodically and observe for any indications that conference participants may
require some extra emotional support. Most presenters used a power point format for
their presentations and the RCMP Headquarters kindly offered the use of their equipment.
A fun and entertaining aspect during the conference was the draw for door prizes
throughout the conference which amounted to thirty nine donated items ranging from
note cards to gift certificates at several different businesses. ( See Appendix N)
Conference Highlights
The conference offered presentations within three streams of information
consistent with the theme and title of the conference; “Victims of Family Violence in our

within the conference room. Presenters were each presented with a thank you gift from
donated items solicited from local businesses and community members. (See Appendix
E, Summary of Presenter’s Biographies)
Networking Sessions and PCPC Show and Share
A primary focus of this networking conference was to help volunteers and
professionals from the community and within government to expand our knowledge
about family violence prevention and communicate information relating to new initiatives
and resources. Two of the main goals were identified as 1) fostering community
partnerships with the common goal of family violence prevention and 2) to expand the
provincial base of volunteers and professionals knowledgeable about Family violence
prevention and have discussion about the sharing of resources.
To meet these goals, the conference committee structured a networking session
and a show and share feature as important elements of this conference. Two PCPC
members, Rina Arseneault of the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Research Center and
Lorraine Whalley of the Fredericton Assault Crisis Center facilitated the Networking
session. A number of questions were posed to the large group; How can we stay
motivated to continue our work to prevent Family Violence?; What is PCPC’s role in this
network and how can we help everyone stay connected, both to us, and to each other?
10
What is your role as individuals and community groups in family violence prevention?
These questions were communicated in French and English to the large group which was
then divided into several smaller sized discussion groups. The facilitators, Rina and
Lorraine, circulated among the groups. After sufficient small group discussion, a
representative of each small group was asked to summarize their group’s responses to the
large group. The facilitators recorded their ideas on flip charts which were summarized
for this report. (Appendix F).
Outcomes
Some exciting outcomes of the networking session were that a new ‘caring
community’ has joined PCPC, Miramichi reached out to a rural area to establish another
committee in Rogersville, N.B. Another promising result is that there is interest among
individuals in one of the networking groups to re-energize and re-establish the
Fredericton-Oromocto Caring Community. Another wonderful outcome is that a few
participants from the Burnt Church First Nations are interested in setting up a caring
community. Participants from another rural community, Hartland, N.B., will partner with
Woodstock to get help setting up as a PCPC ‘caring community’ in their area.
The Show and Share session was an opportunity for agencies who offer programs
and services to victims of family violence within New Brunswick, to share information
about their family violence prevention initiatives in their respective communities. This
was an important opportunity to learn about resources that could become valuable tools to
share, among many agencies in communities across the Province. Eight PCPC member
agencies were scheduled to give a brief presentation at this session. ( See Appendix C-
11
Agenda ). A sign up sheet was available for any of the conference participants to
participate in the Show and Share and a number of them took this opportunity to do so.
Conference Participation
A substantial number of people involved in Family Violence Networks attended
the conference. Sixty four people from across New Brunswick participated in the
conference in addition to PCPC members and some conference presenters for a total of
approximately ninety eight people. The participants represented; Transition Houses,
Homeless Shelters, Youth Homes, Women’s Groups, Community Health Clinic, Social
Service Agencies, Legal Aid Commission, Faith and Family Services sectors, Police
agencies, John Howard Society, University representatives, the Sexual Assault Crisis
Centre, the Canadian Red Cross, and Public Legal Education and Information Services.
Representation from government departments included Justice and Consumer Affairs,
Public Safety, RCMP, Women’s Issues Branch and Education who joined together to
listen and share ideas about initiatives, research and services for victims of family
violence in New Brunswick. The conference brought together Francophone, Anglophone
and First Nation communities from across the province. (See Appendix G: Participants
List).
PCPC reached out to the community to gather participants from a cross section of
ages, language and cultural groups within our province in a variety of ways. For instance,
with youth, a partnership was formed with a local Pathfinder group who assisted with
assembling chocolate roses to include with the conference kits at registration. Their help
was appreciated and it served as a learning experience for the pathfinders. Susan Gavin,
chairperson of the conference planning committee, facilitated a discussion at one of their
12
meetings on the topic of family violence prevention, dating violence, strategies to
recognize it and resources. A few middle school aged youth were invited to assist at the
conference reception on November 22nd and they assisted in assembling conference kits
and helping at the reception.
Conference Evaluation
A review of the conference evaluation forms indicates that the conference was a
great success, 93.6% of the 47 participants who filled out an evaluation form reported
that they loved the conference with no respondents identifying that they did not enjoy the
conference at all. Some of the comments on the form were; “Enjoyed the whole
conference, knowledge and support panels were very insightful; provided a lot of
information to take back and share with the agency and clients”, “Partnerships are the key
to success” and “It is important to share our work together, support each other and
encourage our self care”. (See Appendix H; Evaluation forms). An e-mail list of
conference participants was developed for distribution to those participants who wanted
to maintain contact and wished to continue their networking. Conference materials and
other PCPC resource materials were available in both French and English at the
conference. Many agencies had booths with free publications in both official languages
for the participants to take with them. Digital photos which were taken at the conference
are copied on to a compact disc which will remain with PCPC documentation.
Conference Funding and Support
Conference participants were charged a modest registration fee which included
the cost of an evening conference reception with food and entertainment, attendance at
the full conference with excellent presentations and a generous lunch with two nutrition
13
breaks during the conference. Two of the goals of this conference were to expand the
provincial base of volunteers and professionals knowledgeable about Family violence
prevention and to bring together New Brunswick people from different sectors and
backgrounds with networking opportunities for those who are concerned about family
violence prevention. With these goals in mind and considering the importance of making
this conference as inclusive as possible, conference subsidies were granted to enable
individuals who could not otherwise attend. A small sub committee of the conference
planning committee were organized to review all of the applications for subsidy requests.
Travel and hotel subsidies were made available to those who needed them and met the
criteria. Approximately 16 participants were approved for a conference subsidy. (See
Appendix I; Subsidy criteria).
The conference planning committee was able to manage the budget without a
deficit for the conference. Pending funding from a grant from the RCMP foundation is
tentative. A draft budget is attached indicating expenses as of January 31, 2007. The final
budget will be attached once all of the expected invoices are received and paid. (See
Appendix J- Conference Budget)
The conference was funded for simultaneous translation services from the New
Brunswick Department of Intergovernmental and International Relations. A remaining
portion of the expense for the translation services, not covered by the latter department
was paid for from a grant from the Executive Council office, Women’s Issues Branch of
the Government of New Brunswick. A grant from the Fredericton Community
Foundation funded the payment of conference speakers, presenters and facilitators
(honorariums, per diems, transportation, meals and accommodation). This grant also
14
contributed to the cost of the conference participant’s lunch and nutritional breaks. A
grant from the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Foundation paid for a portion of the
conference subsidies program and a portion of the conference meal expenses. Several
PCPC member organizations provided some in kind support and monetary assistance.
One nutrition break was sponsored by the Minister of the Department of Family and
Community Services. Another nutrition break was sponsored by other PCPC member
organizations, PLEIS, the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Family Violence Research Center
and the John Howard Society (Saint John Branch). A grant from the city of Fredericton
contributed towards the costs for the opening reception (snacks, refreshments and
entertainment). The conference was held at the RCMP Headquarters at no charge, due to
PCPC committee member Sgt. Doug Lockhart, and other types of financial and in kind
support.
Names of the conference funders were acknowledged throughout the conference
commencing with the opening night reception (See Appendix B; Reception Program). A
display table included a list of the funders. The co-hosts acknowledged and publicly
thanked the funding sources several times over the one and one half days of the
conference. The list of conference funders were also acknowledged on a power point
presentation that was clearly visible to all participants during the meal that was served in
the conference room
PCPC Members were approached to determine what kind of financial or in kind
support could be provided to support the conference. ( See Appendix K). Four PCPC
member groups joined resources to sponsor a nutrition break; P.L.E.I.S., the Muriel
McQueen Fergusson Research Centre, CHIMO and the Saint John Chapter of the John
15
Howard Society. Several PCPC members contributed in kind support with the
organization and delivery of the conference including PCPC representatives from the
Department of Justice and Consumer Affairs, the Department of Public Safety,
Community & Correctional Services, CHIMO, the Canadian Red Cross and the Muriel
McQueen Fergusson Foundation. A PCPC member representing the Minister for the
Department of Family and Community Services sponsored a nutrition break. RCMP,
Doug Lockart was of great assistance in coordinating the use of the Headquarter’s
facilities for the conference, ensuring that the technical requirements for the conference
were set up and arranging for Cst. M. Martin to give a presentation at our conference.
The Red Cross and CHIMO assisted greatly with staff from their respective
resources of volunteers to set up chairs at the conference location, typing flip chart
material, summarizing evaluation forms and so forth. Women’s Issues Branch were also
helpful with setting up chairs at the conference, donating pins to hand out at the
conference and donating a book as a door prize as well as arranging for their Minister to
speak at the reception. Many thanks are given to the Muriel McQueen Ferguson
Foundation for efficiently managing the many administrative responsibilities related to
the conference including processing registration forms, responding to enquiries about the
conference, organizing and taking responsibility for the registration desk at the Reception
and Conference and continuing with the financial management of the conference after the
community annimator, Guy Vienneau’s, contract expired.
Conference Follow Up
PCPC is reviewing the suggestions that conference participants shared at the 2006
networking conference. Over the long-term, PCPC hopes to address and incorporate
16
many of these suggestions into our work plan and action strategy providing the funding is
available to undertake the necessary work. However, in the short-term, PCPC made the
following two commitments:
1) PCPC will distribute copies of the Conference Report to those conference
participants who requested follow up information. (See covering letter Appendix L
and e-mail list of participants requesting follow up- Appendix M)
2) PCPC will review the outcomes of the conference networking discussion groups
and consider the recommendations and ideas put forth by conference participants.

4e Conférence provinciale de réseautage en matière de prévention de la violence
familiale
« Victimes de violence familiale dans nos communautés:
Informer, soutenir et promouvoir l’autonomisation »
22 – 24 novembre 2006
Quartiers généraux de la GRC, Division « J »
Fredericton, Nouveau-Brunswick
Le thème que nous avons choisi pour la conférence cette année est « Informer, soutenir et
promouvoir l’autonomisation. » Nous sommes conscients qu’un grand nombre d’agences et
organismes bénévoles, communautaires, professionnels et/ou gouvernementaux, œuvrent à la
prévention de la violence dans la vie des femmes, hommes, enfants, jeunes et aînés. Nous
sommes également conscients qu’il existe différents contextes sociaux, économiques et culturels
qui deviennent des barrières uniques se dressant devant les victimes à la recherche d’aide. Il en
résulte souvent que les intervenants ou agences en arrivent à travailler en vase clos. Le but de
cette conférence est de faciliter le partage d’information à propos des différentes facettes de la
violence familiale et des agences/programmes qui tentent d’en prévenir les effets néfastes.
Vous êtes fortement invité(e)s à vous inscrire à l’avance dans le cadre de cette conférence,
afin de faciliter la gestion des mesures de sécurité en vigueur aux Quartiers généraux de la
GRC

APPENDIX C- CONFERENCE AGENDA- ENGLISH
Victims of Family Violence in our Communities:
Knowledge Support and Empowerment
A Networking Conference of the
Provincial Caring Partnerships Committee
When: November 22 - 24, 2006
Where: RCMP “J” Division Headquarters
Fredericton, New Brunswick
The theme of this year’s conference is ‘support, knowledge and empowerment’. We
know that many volunteer, community, professional and government agencies play a role
in addressing violence in the lives of women and men, children, youth and seniors. We
also know that social, economic and cultural environments can create unique barriers for
victims searching for help. As a result, we often end up working in silos. The goal of this
conference is to share information on the different aspects of Family Violence and the
agencies/programs addressing it - and to look for the common elements and ways of
bridging our differences and working more collaboratively to eradicate violence.
We encourage you to PRE-REGISTER since the conference is at RCMP Headquarters and
it helps security to have names listed in advance.

Group 5
1. Very beneficial
Personal e-mail correspondence from a family violence advocate suggested; more
coordination between activism such as Take Back the Night and other planned events that
the public could take part in. I would suggest the use of PAR-L for notices. A good
many of us no longer read the The Gleaner but are on the feminist mailing list. Just a
thought to get more Public awareness.
Group 6 – groupe francophone :
Questions :
1. Est-ce que notre communauté bénéficierait d’un comité “On vous tient à Coeur”?
Si oui, comment pouvons-nous mobiliser/régénérer ou initier ce comité dans votre
communauté?
2. Comment pouvons-nous partager ce que nous avons appris pendant cette
conférence dans nos communautés respectives?
40
3. Comment pouvons-nous engager les membres de nos communautés qui devraient
faire partie de nos comités te le comité « On vous tient à cœur » - par exemple les
hommes, les membres d’entreprises, les municipalités, etc.?
4. Quels moyens pourrions-nous utiliser pour marqueter le message de non-violence
dans notre communauté?
Remarques ressorties du groupe de discussion en français :
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Déjà un comité en place dans la région– mais il manque encore des agences ou groupes
qui travaillent à enrayer la violence – il y a des efforts qui sont fait présentement pour
combler ce manque.
Veulent faire un plan d’action avec toutes les organismes qui touchent la violence pour
regrouper les ressources, les argents, les in-kinds pour ainsi partager les ressources
qu’elles ont – ceci pour aider à avoir des représentants de tous les groupes pour
travailler ensemble sur un projet concret
Région de Moncton il y a 2 comités de « on vous tient à cœur » CCAR – Coalition
contre l’abus dans les relations ainsi que le Centre de ressources et de crise Beauséjour
de Shédiac. Le Centre de crise Beauséjour sont entrain d’organiser une conférence sur
l’exploitation sexuelle, l’intimidation sur Internet, et les prédateurs sexuelles.
Aimerait toucher la pornographie infantile – aimerait toucher les parents pour mieux
les sensibiliser à cette problématique;
Une activité qui touche trois des comités « On vous tient à cœur » - c’est le radiothon –
Qui dit non à la violence - qui aura lieu pour la deuxième fois en février 2007. Cette
activité permet de sensibiliser et ramasser des fonds. Ce radiothon dessert le Centre de
prévention Kent, Carrefour pour femmes Inc. et Centre de crise Beauséjour.
Sont consciente qu’il faudrait sensibiliser les jeunes dans les écoles. Sont conscientes
qu’il existe des outils pour les sensibiliser mais il n’existe pas d’argent pour aider à
défrayer les coût pour faire cette sensibilisation.
Elles aimeraient que la prévention de la violence fasse partie du curriculum scolaire.
Elles pensent que cette action devrait être une action de comité « on vous tient à cœur »
pour qu’il fasse des démarches auprès du ministère d’éducation pour que l’on retrouve
dans le curriculum de l’information pour qu’une sensibilisation soit faite autant au
niveau primaire, secondaire sur les relations saines pour les jeunes.

Appendix L
Hello Conference Participants
On behalf of PCPC and the 2006 PCPC Conference Organizing Committee, we are
pleased to contact all of the conference participants who provided us with an email address.
Attached is a copy of our Conference report. Please note the appendices which include lists of
conference participants so that you have the contact coordinates of everyone in attendance.
We hope that you enjoyed the conference as much as we did. We were pleased with the
diversity of presentations, the participation of several Provincial Government Ministers at our
opening reception and the opportunity to discuss future directions. Needless to say we all
benefited from the great facilities and food provided by the RCMP. Having an opportunity to
network with so many individuals interested in being part of the solution to family violence
was wonderful. Your positive evaluation comments suggest that most of you were pleased
too.
Your evaluations and the outcome of our Conference Networking sessions also provided
many excellent suggestions for strengthening the family violence network throughout our
province, enhancing communication, and promoting greater collaborative action in public
education and awareness. We think that you will be pleased to know that PCPC shall be
exploring several ways that we can incorporate many of your ideas into our action strategy.
We hope to be able to follow up on several initiatives for promoting community development
for family violence initiatives and grassroots collaboration throughout our province.
Sincerely,
Susan Gavin, R.S.W
Dept. of Justice and Consumer Affairs
Chairperson of PCPC 2006
