October 24, 2006 -- Canadian Community Information and Referral Conference, Niagara Falls, Ontario; remarks made by Paul Bartel, InformCanada, President.
It's not often that we are called upon to take part in a historic act involving one of the tools of our trade. But today we are celebrating the signing of a pact that for our own small field of Information and Referral is indeed momentous. I am thrilled to officially announce the emergence of a new North American classification system built on the foundational AIRS/INFO LINE Taxonomy of Human Services, marked by the signing of a sublicencing agreement between InformCanada Federation and 211 LA County. This announcement is important to information and referral providers from all sectors, and everyone who believes that improved efficiencies can lead to more dollars directed to front line service delivery.
On October 23 & 24, 2006, Helping in Times of Crisis, the Canadian Community Information and Referral Conference (CCIRC) was held in beautiful Niagara Falls, Ontario.
InformCanada partnered with affiliate InformOntario and host organization, Information Niagara. The conference featured best practices in I&R, including new information resources and information technology tools developed through the 211 Ontario Project, and current news on the 211 initiative across Canada.
The conference theme "Helping in Times of Crisis", encouraged participants to consider past and emerging roles for I&R in times of crisis. Presentations and related information can be found on the conference website.
