Please save June 13th as the date for the upcoming all-member meeting, the first of only two all-member meetings in the year. Timing and exact details are TBD, but we can't wait to see you there! On April 24th, 12:30 to 1:30pm, join a belonging shared measurement webinar with Serena McDiarmid (University of Waterloo).

This webinar will provide an update on the Measurement for Change project (formerly the “Well-being Shared Measurement Task Group”), with a focus on the Waterloo Region Belonging Survey – Youth Version (Age 14+). In this session, we will revisit why belonging is a priority for the CYPT. You will then hear how the survey was designed and tested, how data from our community and across Canada was used to improve the survey, and preliminary findings about the state of belonging in our community. The session will end with an update about what the Measurement for Change team has planned next. No registration is required for the webinar. On the day, please use the below Zoom information to join the meeting. We look forward to seeing you there! https://regionofwaterloo.zoom.us/j/95009589134?pwd=Q2lwS1Q4YTEyN0lrSGpkRFNQamFDUT09  Meeting ID: 950 0958 9134 Passcode: 969720
