The Centre for Innovative and Entrepreneurial Leadership is hosting its fourth conversation café tomorrow evening at Oso Negro. This one is about affordable housing, and we hope to get as many people and perspectives as possible! If you aren't able to make it, you will be able to listen to the podcast (but that isn't as fun, since you won't get to participate!).
The format is as follows: 40 minutes of speaker presentations, 15 minutes small group discussion, then the remaining time for large group discussion. If people like, we might try a world café format for the small group discussion...we'll see.
The speakers are:
- Michelle Mungall -MLA for the West Kootenays and used to be the Community Coordinator of Nelson Committee on Homelessness
- Derek Murphy - social planning consultant for Social Planning Action Network (SPAN)
- George Penfold -Regional Innovation Chair in Rural Economic Development (Selkirk College), Adjunct Professor at School of Business and Ecomomics (Thompson Rivers University).
- Jenna Arpita -Project Coordinator for Women in Sustainable Housing (Habondia Lending Society), previous Women's Support Worker (Aimee Beaulieu Transition House).
- Stacey Lock -Community Outreach Worker in Nelson, BC
Admission is by donation to the Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation's CT Scanner. All of the presentations and discussion will be recorded and broadcasted on Kootenay Co-op Radio in half-hour segments on Fridays at 5:30 pm and Saturdays at 9:30 am. You can listen to the podcasts by going to http://www.cjly.org/index.php?/radio-show/show/the_100_mile_ideas_diet/
