This year, we are partnering with The Social Development Centre Waterloo Region (SDC), a learning organization that supports all voices in creation of community wide solutions, ensuring that lived experience is the basis for collective action. They are a beacon, shedding light on unresolved gaps in services and policy, as well as illuminating future trends and opportunities.

The SDC works with people who have lived experience and expertise to improve the quality of life for all citizens in Waterloo Region. This can only be achieved by proactively working towards equity and social justice in all spheres of life.
