Speaker series event focuses on ending poverty

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 #1 – No Poverty on Tuesday, Nov. 14 from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. at the City Hall Rotunda, 200 King St. W., Kitchener. We will explore ending poverty, in all its forms, across the globe. Our panel features innovative, local organizations who are doing their part to help the most vulnerable populations in our community, including:

• Sharon Gilroy-Dreher - Founder, Toasty Toes
• Joe Mancini – Co-founder & Director, The Working Centre
• Catherine Mellinger - Co-Founder and Expressive Arts Therapist, Together Waterloo
• Chinazom Uwaoma - CEO, Merge2Own

We are pleased to have Mike Morrice, Member of Parliament for Kitchener Centre 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.
