Inspired by the primary purpose of the groups we serve, our Vision provides direction for all the efforts and actions of the Canadian Assembly of Narcotics Anonymous. In our vision is a time:
when addicts throughout the geographical expanse we serve need no longer suffer and die without having had the opportunity to discover and experience the miracle of recovery offered by Narcotics Anonymous.
when the NA message of recovery is freely carried in every language and across all boundaries of culture, ethnicity and geography from coast to coast to coast.
when the Canadian Assembly is universally recognized as a dynamic and reliable resource for NA services and information.
when every member, inspired by the gift of recovery, experiences spiritual growth and fulfillment through service.
This vision directs all our service efforts. With the guidance of a loving Higher Power we strive towards these ideals.
What We Do
The Canadian Assembly Zonal forum is the service-oriented sharing and/or business sessions that provide the means by which the Canadian NA communities can collaborate, communicate, cooperate, and grow with one another. World Services and zonal forums interact in many ways. Zonal forums are encouraged to provide written reports to the WSC and may also provide short videos that are shown at the WSC and distributed to conference participants following the WSC. In order to improve communications, they are provided with conference participant mailings and are requested to send their minutes to World Services. World Services typically attends zonal forum meetings, and may provide funding for some participants’ attendance at zonal forums. Maintaining effective communication between the zonal forums and World Services is a high priority. In order to more effectively serve the Fellowship, World Services and zones should develop a partnership for the planning and conducting of workshops, and by assisting each other in the coordination of a variety of service efforts such as professional events and fellowship development activities. Zonal forums with two or more zonally seated regions or communities that are not seated at the World Service Conference may choose to send a zonal delegate to the WSC.
