Editing revision 6 of 2024-06-28 Meeting

Project Launch meeting for [[2024_Provincial_ActionPlan]] Via Zoom Present: Province: Miranda & Maps; Elderberries: Lynn, Renée, Barend, Dan (late) (notes) ===Major Adjustments=== # The project is out of the new (or re-newed) Office of Equity and Anti Racism. # The project is not about hate; it is a totally different project from the "Hate" survey # The project is about "Barriers To Inclusion" that elder Q folk face in accessing Provincial Government services # We will be running the meetings from a five-question survey they have provided. So, we will probably not need to do an initial Google Survey (but given "Other Notes #1" below - they do not care if we do or don't.) # Recording the meeting with audio and video is NOT allowed. We are only allowed to make notes. # Dan will NOT be doing any analysis and writing the report, so his $$ will be much smaller. # Deadline: they wanted the consulting done by end of July and the report by end of August; we said that wasn't possible. Miranda has since agreed that we can do the "engagement" -- the meetings -- in August. ===Other Notes=== # The client reiterated that they do not want to know "how the sausage is made" -- what format the meetings are, how many, where they are, how we invite people. # We don't have to restrict people to talking about Nova Scotia provincial services; if they stray into municipal or federal things that's OK. # Miranda will send me lists of example services: Health, Education, Transportation, Social Services, Environmental Protection, Economic development, Job Creation, Justice, Culture Heritage & Tourism, etc etc. # We should ask the Nova Scotia Accessibility Directorate for ASL Interpetation. # Yes, they are very interested in distinguishing urban and rural voices. # Yes, we can talk about the past, but we really should focus on current problems, and yes absolutely, concerns about the future, and what people think could be changed. # Topic: barriers to long-term-care: e.g. Renée: long term care intake forms which only have "Male" & "Female" categories. # Data has to be anonymized: specific place names and people can not be handed to the Province. ===Possible Formats=== * FOUR meals in a private-ish dining room at a restaurant, 8 people to a table, we have supper and do the survey. * One Zoom meeting
