This is an opportunity for all C.A. members (especially those in the Toronto area) to come out and participate in this very important issue that’s before C.A. Southern Ontario. We will be discussing the motion of making C.A. Southern Ontario into Districts and the impact that will have (positive and negative) on the fellowship as a whole.

Please bring an open mind and an open heart and let’s all strive to do what’s best for this wonderful fellowship we all love.

Motion to divide
Southern Ontario C.A. into 4 Districts

“Suggested" definition of Districts from the World CA website; http://www.ca.org

DISTRICT

A District is a geographical unit within an Area containing a number of groups within a close proximity, which find it necessary to unify. A District has the primary function of the unification of its groups by keeping in frequent contact with them, learning their problems and sharing ways to contribute to their growth and well being. It is suggested that ten (10) or more groups comprise a District and that each ten (10) groups elect a District Service Representative to sit on the Area Service Committee. When districting or re-districting, approval of the groups within each current or proposed District is essential. The proposed districting or re-districting should be approved by the Area Service Committee. As the number of groups within a District increases, the District should either split into two Districts or elect more District Service Representatives from such groups to the Area Service Committee.

Here's a list of cities/groups proposed to be grouped together to form Districts with the # of groups in brackets; 

GTA Central District (10)

Winners Circle Group, A Way Out Group, ALL OUR AFFAIRS Group, Simple Minds Group, The Big Book Group, Saturday Noon Group, Saturday Night Live Group, Rebel Group, The Special Meeting Group, First Toronto Group

GTA West District (19)

Parkdale Peace Group, Naturally High Park, Second Hamilton Group, Recovering Together Group (Hamilton), After Eight Group (Hamilton), Clean Start Group (Hamilton), First Hamilton Group, Hope Faith & Courage Group (Hamilton), London HOW Group, 4th Dimension Group (Mississauga), The Redwood Square Meeting (Oakville), JOY IN SOBRIETY Group (Oakville), Courage To Change Group (St, Catharine's), 1st Niagara Group (St. Catharine's), How it Works Group (St. Catharine's), Clean on Queen Group (St. Catharine's), DESPERATE DESIRE Group (St. Catharine's), Hope In Welland Group (Welland), House of Miracles Group (Windsor)

GTA East District (10)

How It Works Group, The New Serenity Group, Clean On Kennedy Group, Freedom Group, Monday Night Muckers Group, Scarborough Serenity, Midnight Madness Group, Spiritual Progress (Cornwall), The Vision Group (Oshawa), No Rock On Brock Group (Pickering)

Please note that this is "a work in progress" and not necessarily the final document that goes to Area for a vote.

The ad hoc committee plans to hold another committee meeting in January in either Hamilton or Kitchener so that C.A. members in the southwest can attend and participate.

We may then have a final committee meeting in Toronto and then have something for the GSR's to take back to their groups after that to vote on.

Any and all feedback is welcomed.

For comments, discussion, friendly amendments etc., please contact Steve V., Ad Hoc Committee Chair, at 416-500-4238 or
