Communicating Restoratively in Conflict
Everyone is invited to come to this free workshop facilitated Do you feel stuck when you face conflict at home, at work or in your relationships? Get unstuck! Learn practical skills to navigate through conflict to more meaningful interactions with others, even when things feel tough. When things go wrong in communities, schools, workplaces and in our relationships, we want things worked out in a way that satisfies everybody’s needs and brings meaningful closure. However, often when we’re involved in conflict, we don’t take the time to listen. We are intent on making our point, or are feeling too hurt to hear what the other person has to say. Our relationships suffer and so does our enjoyment of life! A healthier approach to conflict brings understanding and a sense of justice—Restorative Justice—into our interactions with others. Restorative Justice is a philosophy about repairing harm, listening to one another and speaking from the heart. Listening to others, as well as expressing your own needs, allows people in conflict to share and come to mutually agreed-upon resolutions. In this workshop, learn a basic understanding of:
A Restorative approach to conflict resolution encourages us to shift from judgment to curiosity, and helps us effectively explore the root causes of our conflicts.

Hutchison Presents: The Story of Bob Everyone is invited to come to this free presentation by author and Restorative Justice advocate Katy Hutchison. There will also be a musical performance by the Apex School Band. Everyone is invited to come to this free presentation by author and Restorative Justice advocate Katy Hutchison as she presents “The Story of Bob”.“The Story of Bob” is about wanting the best and more out of life. It is the story of someone pursuing happiness and excellence in all aspects of his life. It is a story about losing a beloved husband and father to a horrific murder. It is a story about forgiveness and a kind of understanding that when there is a mess in our life, we roll up our sleeves and clean up. It is also the story of Katy Hutchison. Katy, mother of now fourteen-year old twins Emma and Sam, lost her husband Bob McIntosh on New Year's Eve 1997 when he was killed while intervening at a rowdy teen party at a neighbour’s house. Katy shares how the tragic death of her husband impacted her as a wife and as a mother of two young children. After Bob’s murder, Katy recognized the need to advise, educate and inform young members of the community about the risks that arise with the combination of young people, alcohol, and a lack of supervision. Katy wants to inspire and empower teens to make healthier choices so similar tragedies can be prevented. A very powerful aspect of Katy’s journey is her reconciliation with the person responsible for her husband’s death. Exploring the power of forgiveness and restorative justice has become part of her life. Katy has presented “The Story of Bob” throughout Canada as well as internationally. She is also the author of a book entitled Walking After Midnight: One Woman's Journey Through Murder, Justice and Forgiveness published in 2006.
