In the midst of some unprecedented challenges, how can we build a shared sense of hope for a better future ahead? This year we relaunched our Many Voices Together event with that intention.

On August 5th, over 90 community based organizations and 400 community members came together for the first Many Voices Together Impact Tradeshow and Film Festival. Taking a pause can feel like a distraction from the daily work, but it's an opportunity refocus, recharge, and connect.

This event couldn't have been possible without your time, energy, passion, and support. Thank you to our sponsors and the Canada Summer Jobs grant for your support. The grant allowed us to hire three summer students from the University of Saskatchewan who brought this event to life.

Women & Wealth is entering a new chapter.

This September, we’re bringing a fresh look, a new venue and a renewed purpose all centered around one belief:

Every Conversation Creates Possibility.

And this year, we want to hear from you. We’re looking for three women from Saskatoon’s professional, business and community sectors to share their stories, experiences and perspectives as our featured Community Voices.

No CEO title or speaking experience required. Just an authentic story and a willingness to inspire others. Three Voices. Three Journeys. One Community.

Each woman will have 10 minutes to share her perspective through three questions:
• What advice would you give your younger professional self?
• What helps you find your confidence when it wavers?
• What is one piece of advice you want every woman in the room to take with her?

Want to be considered or know a woman whose story should be heard? Send us a short introduction and tell us why here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=dSsmsNtbV0aiWId8k8DynxxRs1wbyl9PuEGanbcrrctUNU05VVNaQ0pSWlhBNzRFNFZTSTlNUlMwWiQlQCN0PWcu&route=shorturl

3:00–5:00 p.m.
The Venue at McLean Block

And if you’re joining us as a guest, don’t wait! The event is already one-third full and attendance is capped at 100.

One conversation can create a new connection, perspective, opportunity, or confidence. Perhaps this September, that conversation begins with you.

Legacy is deeply personal, and it is beautifully unique to who we are.

Our Director of Finance, Laurie Thomas, shares her thoughts on leaving a legacy.

"To me, leaving a legacy is not only about what we give when we are gone.There are moments in life that change us forever. Some arrive with joy, some with heartbreak, and some leave us carrying both love and loss in ways words can hardly hold. For me, the loss of my son, Evan Walker Thomas, has shaped the way I see the world, the way I understand grief, and the way I choose to live.

When you lose a child, your life is divided into before and after. The love does not end. The bond does not disappear. But you begin to understand, in the deepest possible way, how fragile life is, how much people carry quietly, and how important it is to meet others with compassion.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

I believe in the power of community because I have needed community. I believe in generosity because I have seen how even the smallest act of kindness can help someone survive the hardest day of their life. I believe in legacy because I know that love can continue beyond a lifetime - through the lives we touch, the people we help, and the hope we create for others.

To me, leaving a legacy is not only about what we give when we are gone.

𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.

It is about using our pain, our story, our gifts, and our love to make the path gentler for someone else.

Evan's life, and the love I will always have for him, continues to guide me. His memory reminds me to show up for people who are hurting, especially those who know the unimaginable grief of losing a child. No parent should feel alone in that pain. No family should have to walk through that kind of loss without care, support, and tenderness around them.

𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞.

We do not get to choose every part of our story. But we can choose what we do with the love that remains.

And sometimes, the most beautiful legacy we can leave is not a monument or a name on a wall, but a life lived with open hands - a life that reaches toward others, lifts them up, and reminds them they are not alone."

Oh my, we are positively floating after from the response to the relaunched Many Voices Together impact trade show and film festival, warmly and deeply comforted by the incredible community connection we witnessed.

We are so very grateful to the 95 community-based organizations and over 400 attendees who came through to connect, learn, celebrate, build a sense of hope, and maybe shed a few tears.

We are holding onto a core take-away: when we come together, we can plant seeds for a vibrant city. Thank you to all those doing your part for our community. We are already looking forward to building on this incredible event next year.

A special thank-you to our sponsors for helping us make a phenomenal community event! ATB Financial, CIBC, Adaptive Cont BoardBe, RSVP Event Design, Decor & Rentals, Mister Print, MLT Aikins, Benefits & Pension, Rock 102, C95, 650 CKOM, Saul & Nova, True Touch Media, Sikpics Productions
