The Alberta Charities Round Table 2000 was held November 14-16, 2000 in Edmonton, Alberta. The Round Table brought together stakeholders in the non-profit, charitable and voluntary sector of society, in order to discuss and act upon issues related to the capacity of Alberta's voluntary sector to meet community needs. A variety of related issues were discussed, and more than 135 recommendations were made to build capacity in the charitable sector. This report is a summary of the four topics presented, the key messages in the discussions held, and the over-arching recommendations that emerged from the Round Table.
