Thank you to everyone that came out to our screening of Uncharitable! And a heartfelt thanks to our panelists Katie Macpherson, Andrew Jupp and Sarah Magee for helping spark an important conversation about philanthropy and the future of giving in our community.

Our hope with Uncharitable, it to encourage our community to rethink how we can all support nonprofits, invest in big ideas and trust the people working every day to create impact in our community.

As Nelson begins a new chapter at City Hall, we recognize the many people who dedicated their time, energy, and voices to this municipal election.

To those concluding their time on Council, thank you for your service, commitment, and contributions to our community. To our newly elected Mayor and Councillors, we look forward to building strong partnerships and working together to support the people, organizations, and priorities that make our community special.

For Good. For Ever.
