Hosted by the City of Victoria’s Welcoming City Advisory Committee in partnership with the Coastal Research, Education, and Advocacy Network (CREAN), this Welcoming City Community Conversation explores what leadership and belonging means in community spaces. This conversation builds upon the Welcoming City Standards and Strategy.

A facilitated group discussion will follow, inviting community members to share experiences and ideas for shaping more inclusive, welcoming, and accessible civic spaces.
