LEADNOW – (Re)Generation: Voices for Canada
WHAT: LEADNOW–(Re)Generation: Voices for Canada
WHERE: Lab in the Natural Resources block in the Technical Centre at SIAST (see directions below)
WHEN: Thursday, March 10, at 7:00 PM
LEADNOW is a non-partisan / multi-partisan organization hoping to create a large progressive political advocacy network in Canada along the lines of Move On in the U.S. and Get Up in Australia. The people who have created the Lead Now network come out of both the movement against prorogation and the movement for meaningful climate change legislation. If they want to build a network in Canada on the same per capita scale as Move On, they'll be hoping for a network of some five hundred thousand people across Canada. Their website is www.leadnow.ca
LEADNOW is bringing together generations of Canadians (over 50 such gatherings planned to date) to share ideas and goals for our country and our future. (Re)Generation: Voices for Canada, is a cross-country event for people like you to answer a few questions in small-group conversations to shape the “Declaration of Change”. The Decalaration will call for our politicians to cooperate for progress on the major challenges facing our country.
DIRECTIONS: The Technical Center is the big, two-storey brick building at SIAST (not the one-storey building that’s closer to Rona). The entrance is on the north side of the building. To get there:
1) Park in the student parking lot on the north side of the Technical Centre. The parking lot is on the east side of the student housing complex. Make sure to pick a parking spot towards the back of the parking lot. Those spots don’t have any signs on them. The spots in the front of the lot are assigned 24 hours and have signs saying so.
2) On the north side of the building, there is a tiny little outdoor playground for the Day Care centre. The playground has a plexiglass fence around it. On the right (west) side of the playground there is an entrance to the building with a small brown sign with white letters above the doors that says Day Care Centre. Go in those doors.
