What stays with us long after an event ends?

For many who attended this year's Rise-Up Breakfast, it was a powerful reminder that change begins with conversation—and grows through collective action.

We were honoured to welcome Nathalie Provost for a meaningful discussion that inspired reflection, sparked dialogue, and reinforced the importance of building safer, more equitable communities for all.

Thank you to our sponsors RaeLipskie Partnership, Schlegel Urban Developments, Coldwell Banker Peter Benniger Realty and the Co-operators, and everyone who attended, sponsored, volunteered, and supported the Fifth Annual Rise-Up Breakfast. Your support helps make YW Kitchener-Waterloo's work possible every day.

Together, we're creating change that lasts far beyond a single morning.☀

Join us on June 26 for our last session of the YW Kitchener Waterloo Women Choosing Change Speaker Series for 2026. This session features Kitchener Centre MP Kelly DeRidder and how she is making her mark as a rookie politician.

🎤 Hear how Kitchener Centre MP Kelly DeRidder recently introduced a private member's bill on drug rehabilitation and how it passed unanimously in the House of Commons. She will offer real talk and hard-fought wisdom on why the bill is important to her as someone who battled addiction and experienced homelessness as a teenager living in Kitchener.
