About this Event
"What's on the table this year, Waterloo Region?"
It's easy to see that widespread loneliness, rising polarization, and growing social and economic inequities are reaching epidemic proportions. Our connections, our care for each other, our sense of community, are in jeopardy. We all face a crisis of belonging.
This year, we've invited four women whose work promotes a deep sense of belonging, in which everyone feels connected, supported, included, valued and safe. This work runs the gamut of Reconciliation, Inclusion, Immigration, Equity, and Diversity.
Paula Whitlow is Director, Truth & Reconciliation with Region of Waterloo; Zohra Wali is Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Coordinator with City of Cambridge;Geraldine Stafford is Manager, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion with Waterloo Region Police Services. Janet Howitt, a long-time member of the Breakfast planning committee and former Coordinator of the Belonging Steering Group at Immigration Partnership Waterloo Region will act as moderator.
Their individual stories and their interactions will help us take a deeper dive into what work for "Belonging" can mean.
Join guests from the many religious, spiritual and philosophical traditions in Waterloo Region to enjoy delicious food and to reflect on the common concerns of our community.
We are most grateful to our major sponsor, Kindred Credit Union, as well as to the Region of Waterloo, the Cities of Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo, and the Townships of North Dumfries, Wellesley, Woolwich, and Wilmot for their financial support again this year.
