Acknowledgements

CCLOW gratefully acknowledges funding from Status of Women Canada; the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities; the New Ontario Trillium Foundation; and the National Literacy Secretariat, Human Resources Development Canada.

We would also like to thank the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities for assistance with meeting space and equipment, which greatly enhanced the congress proceedings.

Many people contributed to the success of the congress, most of them volunteers. Even those who received some remuneration for their work contributed a great deal of time without payment. A special thank you to the animators of the on-line discussions prior to the congress; to the theme coordinators at the congress, who later pulled together the preliminary project proposals resulting from the discussions; to all the resource people who did presentations or animated sessions at the congress; to the recorders who prepared notes on workshops they attended; to the volunteers who worked on packaging kits and doing registration; to all the participants who contributed their ideas and leadership during the congress proceedings; to the author of this report; and to the CCLOW administrator and congress coordinators.
