Speaker series event focuses on affordable and clean energy

The City of Kitchener, in collaboration with the Waterloo Region Small Business Centre (WRSBC), hosts a free monthly speaker series, called SDG Talks, to explore the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and how we, as individuals, can help create a more socially and environmentally sustainable planet. We bring together entrepreneurs and organizations who use business as a force for good.

Join us for our next SDG Talks event focusing on goal #7 – Affordable and Clean Energy on Tuesday, Jan. 16, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the SDG Idea Factory, 2 King St. W., Kitchener. We will explore access to reliable, affordable, and green energy solutions. Our panel features innovative, local organizations that are doing their part to help develop sustainable, clean energy, including:

• Scott Cooper – Owner/Founder, Merlyn Power
• Miswar Syed – Founder, Swish
• Lisa Truong - Senior Energy Programs Manager, Reep Green Solutions
• Matthew Day - Director, Community Energy Program

Terry Pender, Waterloo Region Record reporter will facilitate this important discussion.

Join us for an evening of engaging conversation, networking, and light refreshments. All are welcome to attend. To register for this session, visit SDGSpeakerSeries.eventbrite.ca.

Over the next year, the City of Kitchener and community partners will invite speakers to present topics related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as part of a series of seventeen sessions to raise awareness and accountability for the goals. Topics for future sessions will be announced closer to the session dates.

This series is supported by Waterloo Region Community Foundation.
