There were thirty six societies represented and all the delegates participated in the workshop after the showing of the department's film "Brief Encounters" and enjoyed the presentation by Mr. Peter Trynchy, minister of Recreation and Parks and his staff.

Dr. MacEwan was followed by a very versatile group of ladies known as the Waskabil1ies, who entertained us with a selection of country and western songs, in a very unique style.
