“Today we’re talking about embracing possibilities and creating opportunities that we don’t know exist yet,” said Katherine Topolniski, creative director with Volunteer Alberta. “What that means is, we need to take some time to sit down with people, to talk to them about their skills and get to know who they are and how they can contribute to our organizations”.

The workshop was attended by officials from the non-profit sector, the business community and the City of Lethbridge.
