Innovation Hub, Think Tank and Ideas Incubator for Social Impact!
<\/b>
We aim to open up public spaces for conversations and discussions around topical issues and to explore connections between events of global significance that ripple into our own local corners and everyday lives.

We fervently believe that we have the power to shape our world for the better and invite you to join the conversations that will be taking place via our website, video broadcasts, publications and live events. Topics that will be covered include misinformation and propaganda, democratizing our world, using technology for good, refugees and homelessness to name a few.

Stay tuned for more!<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Our webinars for Ukrainian newcomers and refugees help facilitate a smoother settling in process. We cover a number of topics, such as finding employment, immigration, ESL, education and more. Our volunteers are available around the clock to answer questions virtually for newcomers. These webinars will be expanded to broader issues as we continue to grow.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Because many of our volunteers have strong ties to Ukraine, we can offer media, information and insights that are not widely covered in Canadian media. Our videos will focus on topics related to the war in Ukraine, common misperceptions and propaganda that inhibits progress, and other global perspectives that can prove pivotal in creating change.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
