Toastmasters month, the first full week of february was toastmaster week in earlier years. However a big part of it was a proclamation done in the provincial legislature. The current government and party brought in a policy to sit at certain times and it was not sitting in proximity of the week of February. This year it is toastmasters month and an order in council passed it way back in October. Order in council is the cabinet and we prefered the parliament. However we have  a proclamation and we look forward to toastmaster month in British Columbia. District 21 covers all British Columbia for the toastmaster organization and its worldwide mandate of better communication.
