There is excitement in the air about the final two installments of the 4-part “Celebrating Change” speaker series hosted by KW Counselling in honour of the organization’s 60th anniversary. Some very celebrated Canadians will be sharing their experiences with the powerful and positive effects of change, both in their lives and the lives of others.
Speaking on February 3 will be Rosemary Thompson, a veteran political correspondent for CTV news and the Director of Communications and Public Affairs for the National Arts Centre, along with Karen Redman, former long-time Liberal MPP for Kitchener Centre. Talk about your powerful female role models!
Then on May 17th, Stephen Lewis, former United Nations' special envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa and a former NDP leader and broadcaster, will be joined by international bestselling author Barbara Coloroso, whose effective parenting and teaching strategies have helped so many throughout the years.
Both evenings will be held at Bingemans in Kitchener. For further information about these two must-see events, please visit www.kwcounselling.com.
Last November, we at United Way KW were thrilled to partner with KW Counselling in bringing celebrated Olympian Clara Hughes to town, not only as part of the “Celebrating Change” speaker series, but also as a thank you to our Leadership donors – those who generously support our community with gifts of $1000 a year or more. Clara shared the inspiring story of how she overcame many obstacles in her youth to become the only Canadian ever to win medals in both the summer and winter Olympics. This well-received evening wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of our Leadership sponsor, Manulife Financial.
The moral of this blog? Change is good!
