A special morning edition of SFU City Conversations at Nemesis Coffee

On September 7, SFU City Conversations visits Nemesis Coffee in SFU's new Charles Chang Innovation Centre at the corner of Hastings and Hamilton Streets, next to Victory Square. Nemesis will be opening early at 7:30 AM, providing drinks and treats for purchase.

Then, at 8:00 AM, spend an hour discussing solutions to the Vancouver region's most pressing issues with presenters Tesicca Truong and Veronika Bylicki, founders of CityHive, an organization harnessing the energy, experiences, and passion of youth to solve real urban challenges, and amplifying the voice of youth in Vancouver. Joining them is Katelyn McDougall, Public Engagement Coordinator at the City of New Westminster, bringing her ideas on how youthful perspectives can be used to address and support civic priorities.

The conversation will begin with a spotlight on some of the most creative (and most realistic) youth-led solutions to the housing crunch, but will broaden to allow our presenters and participants to discuss how creative thinking can be applied elsewhere to solve problems facing transportation, planning, and democratic institutions.

This event is off-site, just a few short blocks from SFU Harbour Centre. No reservations, but come early to be sure of a seat.

Start your day with a City Conversation.
