The 75th celebration of the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) featured a mix of aviation wonders and charitable efforts when the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Canadian Continental Cavalcade became the focal point of attention during the event festivities. The occasion offered an opportunity for the Volunteer Ministers to showcase their "Tools for Life," a collection of useful skills crafted by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. They aim to assist people in dealing with life's challenges, and are efficiently likened to a pilot guiding through rough weather. Distinguished Toastmaster and community advocate Azhar Khan drew similarities between the skillfulness of shows and the impact of Volunteer Ministers, in removing obstacles to joy and achievement.
Guests at the pavilion were encouraged to join workshops and interact with Volunteer Ministers to offer assistance and advice. They concentrated on imparting practical life skills to help individuals tackle obstacles and realize in full their capabilities. Some of the skills covered were effective study techniques, resolving conflicts and methods for personal and career development.
Founder and president of the Network of Nigerians in Canada and a member of the Brampton Mayor's Black Advisory Council Uche Okugo spoke positively about working with the Volunteer Ministers and how their resources have greatly enhanced his work in assisting immigrants to settle into life, in Canada amidst conditions.
Cyndie Clourie, from the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, highlighted the significance of having a "guidebook or compass" for life's adventures. "Many of us experience ups and downs as we navigate toward prosperity and happiness. But unlike the supersonic jet pilot, who is trained to perfection in his craft, we frequently find ourselves in the cockpit of life without a manual or map, trying to avoid the downdrafts and struggling to keep ourselves from heading into a nosedive. Scientology Volunteer Ministers provide tools for life that put you in control in the pilot's seat."
