For many members of our community, the best thing about CSI is Salad Club. For years, this weekly potluck offered participants a chance to connect, inspire, and of course eat. As COVID-19 forced us to find ways keep social closeness while maintaining physical distance, the logistics of Salad Club had to change a little as it moved online. But even though we can no longer share food, we are still able to share strategies and encouragement!
We are also still able to shine a light on the incredible work of our members, through ten minute “Member Moments” where they are invited to share a bit about their vision.

Our favourite quote: “We have a vision of a Canada where young people can really explore their entrepreneurial potential, to build the most inclusive and prosperous place in the world.”
