Wanna ask y’all a question. What’s the difference between EXPAT and IMMIGRANT? Some say it’s length of stay, cuz expats are temporary and immigrants permanent. But I’ve seen people in a country for decades and still called expat. What comes to mind when you think of these terms?

I want to thank CoRe Clinic @mediatecom, Mediate BC, The Continuing Legal Education Society of BC & Washington State Bar Association who organized the inaugural Northwest Collaborative Futures Conference based in Vancouver, BC, for the opportunity to discuss water conflict transformation. #water #mediation #conflict
