The Black Heritage Month Fireside Chat is an intimate conversation with elected officials; MPP Laura Mae Lindo, Regional Councillor Colleen James, Kitchener Councillor Ayo Owodunni, and WRDSB Trustee Maedith Radlein.
Hosted by Sophia Stanberry, Director Equity, Anti-Racism and Indigenous Initiatives and Ismail Mohamed, Facilitator – Community Centres – the event recognizes and celebrates the momentous accomplishments of our Black elected officials as part of a historic election year toward a more representative government in the Region. As well, we will look forward to the future as each leader discusses what they hope to achieve in their term, systemic barriers, and how we can aspire towards an inclusive and equitable Kitchener.
