There are 1.3 million small businesses with employees in Canada[1] and this week we have seen that all of them are at risk.
In light of increasing public health protocols around travel and social distancing, L3 has elected to run its second round of workshops (Waterloo Region and Halifax) online.
After a whirlwind January where we held both our first Waterloo Region Workshop and Toronto Workshops, February saw L3 settling back into research and development mode.
January has been our most exciting month yet here at L3. Between partnering with DUCA Impact Lab and running not one but two workshops, we’ve been busy!
Waterloo Region Workshop
We invited some of our friends and colleagues in Kitchener-Waterloo, including key players in small business and social enterprise like Community Futures and Iler Campbell, for a one-day mini workshop at our evolv1 Make Change classroom on January 15.
The Waterloo Institute for Social Innovation and Resilience (WISIR)’s Legacy Leadership Lab (L3) by the University of Waterloo is proud to announce their first Platinum-level sponsor, the DUCA Impact Lab.
L3’s first operational quarter has blazed by, and we’re thrilled to say there’s been a tonne of movement both within the team and among our various partners and stakeholder groups.
Major movements in December
The L3 team spends an intensive planning day to prepare for their upcoming workshops.
In our second month of operation, L3 has been intensifying its research in preparation for the first of five Workshops, coming up fast at the end of January 2020.
