HOUGHTON -- As a community we disagree on matters of public interest. Stating our opinions and listening to the opinions of others are essential practices in a healthy community. As we all know, right now there are unhealthy conflicts in communities across the country. The Copper Country has wonderful examples of our community working together for the benefit of all. In the coming weeks, how will we keep our disagreements civil? Let's start by talking with one another.

Join this online community conversation webinar at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, October 27, as local law enforcement, clergy and lay leaders start the discussion on Keeping Our Disagreements Civil.

Panelists include Sheriff Brian McLean, Houghton County Sheriff; Chief Wayne Butler, Hancock Police Department; Chief John Donnelly, Houghton Police Department; Chief Brian Cadwell, Michigan Tech University Police Department; Sergeant Matt Djerf, Michigan State Police; and leaders of local faith communities.
