Speaker series event focuses on clean water and sanitation exploring solutions
The City of Kitchener, in collaboration with the Waterloo Region Small Business Centre (WRSBC), hosts a free monthly speaker series called SDG Talks. The series features talks exploring the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and how we, as individuals, can help create a more socially and environmentally sustainable planet.
