Photos from our Networking Luncheon “Meet Your Neighbours at Catalyst Commons!”

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an incredible afternoon of community, connection, and discovery! Here’s a quick look at what went down:

Members gathered over a delicious tortilla soup lunch. We loved hearing from Members who took the stage to share their stories, passions, and work with the community—no slides needed, just authentic conversations! The afternoon wrapped up with great conversations and tours of our newly expanded space. Seeing Members connect and collaborate is what Catalyst Commons is all about.

Stay tuned for our next event—your chance to share, learn, and grow alongside this vibrant community!
