Institute Membership
As a follow-up to our Community Innovation Day we are launching our first membership campaign. Last year, 90 people from across the region developed ideas which would help achieve our vision of becoming the “smartest, greenest, healthiest, and most caring region in Ontario”. Our next step is to build a community of people who want to support the vision and the Institute’s pillars of activity, engage in discussion, and/or help bring the ideas expressed at the Community Innovation Day to life. Pillars include:
- Arts & Culture
- Business & Innovation
- Social Justice
- Environment
Our programming depends on your membership. Please join now and help lift this Speaker Series off the ground! Members are also able to join the Working Groups who will be the champions of the follow-up goals generated at the Community Innovation Day.
Visit our refreshed website www.tisgb.com to join. Members will receive discounts on tickets and access to special events. We are partnering with several organizations to bring you research – see the recently released Vital Focus on Youth report, and come to the events to make connections and collaborate on initiatives to leverage your impact! Our mission focuses on connecting people, conducting research, and fostering collaboration. Read this story about how connection and collaboration leverages impact!
See you in September!
