With the flood behind us, what do we need to learn from this experience? Come join us for a morning of tea and conversation to provide your insight into the disaster response and recovery efforts.

This Community Engagement Series is brought to you by the John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights and Thinking for a Change; two organizations with a join aim to assess and identify the common protections that all people deserve in the event of natural disaster and determine the gaps in fulfilling these protections. It is our hope that if we can identify the gaps in both response and recovery efforts, and learn who has been marginalized in these processes, we can take steps towards enshrining human rights protections in legislation and programming.
