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.☀
