Today, team members attended a panel discussion: "Who Is Family? A Conversation About Family Diversity and Wellbeing" hosted by Mount Saint Vincent University and the Vanier Institute of the Family.
We appreciated the opportunity to hear from a diverse panel of community leaders and professionals about the many ways families are defined, supported, and strengthened in our communities.
Thank you to MSVU and the panelists for an engaging and insightful discussion.
