Editorial comment and correction to STELIP presentation at previous club meeting: "As editor, Stewart Shouldice wishes to change the following to editorial comment 'Politicians have tried to define what Canadian culture is for immigration purposes but have been shut down.'". Also, re:"Petrucia showed pictures of immigrants from Islamic, Hindu and Mennonite faiths talking to each other, in a recent forum. Your editor was unable to find that on STELIP or the library website." The following is a link to aforementioned: https://stelip.ca/cc/ Changeover Program Club members and spouses met socially distanced at the Rotary Park Aylmer on a very pleasant afternoon.
