We're honoured to invite you to the third Annual Changemaker Summer Potluck!

Join us on Monday, August 13 for our Changemakers Summer Potluck #CMPotluck in Stanley Park - we can eat, learn and play together. All are welcome, your colleagues, friends and family - let's eat and find solidarity and strength in our numbers and diversity. At our 1st annual potluck, we had over 160 potluckers and ~15 partners - we wonder who will join us this year?

There's a suggested donation, but no admission charge we welcome everyone. But please RSVP so we know how many people to expect.

WHAT TO BRING
