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 on Monday, April 22, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the SDG Idea Factory, 2 King St. W., Kitchener. This talk will focus on Goal #15, Life on Land. We will discuss how we can conserve, restore, and sustainably use our ecosystems to promote biodiversity. Our panel includes:
- Angie Koch – Owner/Farm Manager, Fertile Ground Farm
- Darren Harry Baine – Founder, The Young Eye Initiative
- James Bow – Communications Officer, Rare Charitable Research Reserve
- Tyzun James – Owner, Cafe Pyrus and Coordinator, Indigenous Food Sovereignty Collective Community Garden
Jasmine Mangalaseril, Food Writer and CBC-KW Food Columnist, 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
