7:30 pm 

Midlands Building, St. Mary's University College - 14500 Bannister Road SE.

Free admission. Open to all. Donations gladly accepted. 

Mr. Manning's understanding of the Christian faith attaches great importance to the establishment of "right relationships" - including healthy, sustainable relationships between human beings and the environment. Join us for a discussion, lead by Preston Manning, surrounding the challenges of expressing and practising these land stewardship convictions in the context of the global mar ketplace and the Canadian political arena. 

Mr. Manning served as a Member of the Canadian Parliament from 1993 to 2001. He founded two new political parties - the Reform Party of Canada and the Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance - both of which became the official Opposition in the Canadian Parliament. Since retirement from Parliament in 2002, Mr. Manning has released a book entitled Think Big (published by McClelland & Stewart) describing his use of the tools and institutions of democracy to change Canada's national agenda. 

Mr. Manning is a practising Christian with life-long interests in the relationships between faith and science, faith and business, faith and politics, and faith and conflict resolution. As a result, he continues to write, speak, and teach on a variety of subjects including environmental conservation.
