Historique
On March 26, 1992 Rosaleen Zdunich, Chair of the Commission for Ecumenism and Interfaith Relations at the Archdiocese of Edmonton, and Rev. Bernard de Margerie, Chair of the Saskatoon Diocesan Commission for Ecumenism wrote to the Most Rev. Antoine Hacault, Archbishop of St. Boniface requesting the permission to establish a regional ecumenical conference or association in Western Canada. Similar organizations had previously been established in Ontario and Quebec.
The purpose of the association was to lend support and encouragement to the ecumenical movement in the Church and its leadership, especially to diocesan ecumenical officers. Conferences are organized annually to provide a time for individuals working in Ecumenical and Interfaith rolls in Dioceses and Eparchies in Western Canada to gather and share resources and knowledge.
There appears to have been a break in activities between 1999 and 2004. When the organization re-formed in 2004 they created a formal set of guidelines in which the aims, membership, dues, voting, and responsibilities are explained in detail.
