Special Programs

JUNE 2021-SEPTEMBER 2022 ~ ONLINE LUNCH AND LEARN EVENTS

SEPTEMBER 2022

This is the fourth in our special series of online Lunch & Learn events on issues that affect the status of women.

We will be hosting a one-hour event to learn more about basic income from Evelyn Forget and Hannah Owczar, who recently authored “Radical Trust: Basic Income for Complicated Lives.” Evelyn and Hannah explore the notion of meritocracy and propose that a basic income is a compassionate and dignified response to poverty and income inequality in Canada. And there is growing support for a national basic income program to begin here in PEI!

The Lunch & Learn will be offered online, from 12:00 – 1:00 on Tuesday, September 13. To register email: [email protected]
