Gentlemen,

We look forward to seeing you at our next in-person Men’s Breakfast at Christ Church Cathedral on Saturday, January 31, 2026. Doors open at 8:00 am, breakfast is served at 8:30 am, and the session runs from 9:00 am to 10:15 am.

We live in “interesting times,” facing a plethora of complex issues that challenge us on personal, professional, and spiritual fronts. This session brings together three members of our group with varied backgrounds to form a panel exploring these “difficult questions.” Our panelists include:

• Daniel Bornman: Vancouver Coastal Health (working with people with addiction in the Downtown Eastside).

• Peter Schouls: Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at UBC.

• Ted Chiasson: Retired Judge of the Court of Appeal for British Columbia.

RSVP: To assist with planning, please RSVP by email to Ron Bowles (ronbowles7@gmail.com) by Thursday evening, January 29.

Cost: $20.00 (collected at the door) to cover costs of the breakfast.

Thanks!
