Meet your MP. Be heard in Ottawa. 🍁

MP Juanita Nathan (Pickering–Brooklin) has invited DMC seniors to Parliament Hill.
You'll meet her in a private 20-minute session and hand over your written questions — pensions, health care, housing, whatever matters to you.
Then we'll watch Question Period live from the House of Commons gallery, and enjoy Ottawa together: the Rideau Canal, the Ottawa sign and Gurudwara Sahib. 📅
Wednesday, October 21 · 🚌 5:30 AM from Ajax · $110 with light breakfast & lunch Seats are limited — register through the link in our bio.

THANK YOU — we are 101 strong! 💛🪶
Look closely at the circle around our logo: there are exactly 101 dots. Every single one is you.
To each member who came to an event, brought a friend, shared a recipe, a song, a story, or
simply showed up — thank you. You turned Diverse Minds Collective from an idea into a family
that spans cultures, languages and generations across Durham Region.
This milestone isn’t ours. It’s yours. 🙏
Here’s to the next 101 — tag someone who should be dot #102 👇
