Super-T 2009
In 2009 we have already broken our pace for last year -- we have led over twenty trainings.

This summer we partnered with the Alberta Public Interest Research Group (APIRG) to bring the Super T (our 17-day international training of trainers workshop) to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. This was the second time we’ve organized the Super T in Canada, the ﬁrst time was in Toronto in 2006.

The training hosted several members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, human rights workers, anti-oppression trainers and many students working in anarchist, femi- nist and environmental movements. Though about half the participants at the Super T were from Alberta, it was also attended by participants from almost every other province in Canada, several places in the United States, and by citizens of England, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.
