Dear Bawating community,

Please join us for Nonprofit Driven Regional Connects: Sault Ste. Marie & Algoma! Nonprofit Driven Regional Connects are small gatherings with big impacts. This is an opportunity for nonprofits, charities, and community organizations across the region to share space and ideas for our collective well-being, explore systemic solutions locally, and break bread together.

Our sector continues to be intentionally under-resourced and privatized, is experiencing growing legal attacks from the community for doing its critical work, and grapples with increased scrutiny and eroding public trust. To combat the current climate of deep polarization, we must invest in building relationships to help our sector and communities thrive. Getting together in community is an ongoing exercise in movement-building, and actively shaping the future together.
