By building community and working together for social change we can make our families, neighborhoods, communities and the world great places to live for all. Join Paul Born, highly acclaimed author, activist and internationally recognized community innovator in a conversation on building community. Hear stories of inspired individuals and communities that are harnessing the power of collaboration. Some questions to be discussed are: What is community and why is it important? What do we mean by a global community and how are we a part of this? How are communities in Canada and around the world coming together to plan their own futures and collaborate to find solutions to their collective problems? This event is presented by BRIDGESTHATUNITE and Tamarack - An Institute for Community Engagement. Registration is free, however seating is limited. Please register by October 13 at
