Dinner Stories Vol. 3: Resilience
Canada needs a new narrative: one of bravery, ambition, and kindness.
These stories are already being written, by student leaders and seasoned founders alike. They are being told at dinner tables, but deserve a bigger stage to inspire, empower, and connect those building Canada's future.
It's time to bring the dinner table to the stage.
On March 27th, Cansbridge & V2 are hosting Dinner Stories: Resilience, the third in a series of storytelling nights to shape this narrative, together. Come to listen to the scheduled stories, stay to share your own with other young Vancouver-based builders and creatives.
