This fall the @onthetablebc community sparked conversations online, brought neighbours closer together, & showed a new way forward in building connection. What started as a 1 year experience has turned into a 3 year initiative. Here’s a snapshot of what transpired to date!

Congratulations to our friends at @vancouverfdn for a successful @onthetablebc series this Fall! We were so happy to have dozens of BC Girl Guides groups host outdoor/online dialogues to talk about what matters most to girls. Amplifying girls' voices is what we're all about!
What a perfect sunny fall day for our Parkinson’s in the Park + Reconnecting @onthetablebc event. We shared stories & laughed & talked about what we have missed the most these last 7 months, what we are grateful for & did we learn anything new! #onthetablebc

A few weeks back, a few of us hosted an @onthetablebc dinner where we discussed our own individual climate actions—what we're doing right, what we're struggling to do better, and what we're planning to take action on in our own lives. Such a lovely campaign, @VancouverFdn!
