One Million Neighbors Roundtable

As Waterloo Region grows from 650,000 people to over a million in the next few decades, we need a vision of the future that is inclusive, resilient, and abundant. Non-profits and community groups already know what strengths we can nurture and what limitations we need to overcome to build a future where everyone thrives. One Million Neighbours is a series of multisolving roundtables. We are convening non-profits and community groups working in all disciplines. They are intended for representatives of community groups. Other events for the general public will be organized for later in the Spring. As community organizers, we believe that this project is necessary to counter the burnout that comes from constantly responding to crises. Reminding ourselves of the big picture and building solidarity is a powerful way to re-calibrate our energies. Willow River Centre, Kitchener
