On Tuesday the 17th of January, members of UBC's STAND had a meeting with MP Dr Hedy Fry.
We spoke of China's relationship with Sudan, the Conservative approach (or, more accurately, lack of approach) to resolving the conflict in Darfur, ways to raise awareness about Darfur (petitions, rallies, and letters are key), and peace negotiations and methods, among other things.
Dr Fry gave us some good ideas about how to force MPs, Canada, and China to pay attention to Darfur. Out of this meeting came the ideas for the Ski and Bike Relay for Darfur (more about this to be posted soon), and petitioning and letter-writing campaigns (to be started [possibly] on the 4th and 5th of Febraury, at our table in the SUB).
Dry Hedy Fry, Jeremy, and Heather.
