PowerShift 2012 is finally here! As of Friday morning there were 950 people registered for PowerShift, on top of about 100 facilitators and panelists! The weekend kicked off with speakers, artists, and musicians at the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau.

Algonquin elder Annie St. Georges opened the conference with a prayer for the land and its people. She did this prayer in English, French, and Algonquin in an amazing effort to communicate with as many people as possible.
