Making Issues #UNIGNORABLE

by Nicole Mulenga-Woo on July 4, 2019 Comments Off on Making Issues #UNIGNORABLE

Canadians are often unaware of the local issues that impact their communities. Issues like poverty, youth unemployment, and social isolation can easily go ignored, yet take the dedication and commitment of the entire community to help solve them. Ultimately, we need communities to show their Local Love. But first, we need their attention.

To do this in 2018, United Way partnered with the Pantone® Color Institute to create #UNIGNORABLE — a colour developed specifically to highlight local issues and bring attention to the millions of Canadians impacted by them. This colour cuts through the clutter of our busy lives, draws our attention and compels us to act. It’s a colour that sparks a conversation we need to have. It’s an invitation to be part of the change by showing love for the places we call home and the people who live here. It makes the reality of these local issues relevant, topical and most importantly, #UNIGNORABLE

Indigenous People’s Day & Rock your Roots

by Nicole Mulenga-Woo on May 30, 2019 Comments Off on Indigenous People’s Day & Rock your Roots

Join us on June 21st where United Way will be walking in Rock your Roots – Walk for Reconciliation and celebrating Indigenous People’s Day. 

 

The theme for this year is Re-igniting the Fire—a reminder that we cannot delegate Reconciliation. We must commit as individuals, businesses, and communities to listen, learn, show up and share. We must keep the fire burning to spark change in our lives and city.

Join us for the many activities including lunch, entertainment and other family friendly activities celebrating Indigenous People’s Day in Victoria Park. The walk starts at 9:30 am at the top of Victoria Park (by the legion at 17th Street West between Avenue E and F).
