The Start of Just Group - 2007

Just Group was started in May, 2007 after a meeting held at the University of Lethbridge in the Howard Tennat conference room on the 11th floor of the library. The concept discussed was a need for a mechanism to complete community development projects.   A plan of action was developed and recorded.
