You can always go outside and write/draw in the sand, dirt or snow. Perhaps it is a good exercise to plan for the agenda to be temporary and the participants asked to take responsibility for remembering the agenda they wish to run with. Yes quite a challenge and one we often delegate to

Thank you Chris for this wonderful 'origin' story of Canadian Tables. It gives it even an extra touch of beauty to know the story, to see in my mind the space and to imagine this game of hockey breaking out :-) With gratitude and appreciation, Doris On Mon, Dec 3, 2018 at 9:29 PM Chris

Chris, This story is priceless for many reasons. Not only do I now know the what and why's of Canadian Tables but also it takes place in one of my favorite places on earth AND the gift keeps on giving. It reminds me of Judi Richardson who is a friend who I haven't seen in years from my hometown

Hi all, Long time no see or post from me - but I really need to say that for the first time since about 20 years with Open Space I had the chance to use ”Canadian tables” when I worked at the Royal Opera house in Stockholm - and you could tell that there was NO way to put tape on the walls.
