The Business of Community | Networking Luncheon

Join us for The Business of Community: Why Community Investment Is the New Competitive Advantage, presented in collaboration with Arts Council Wood Buffalo. We're pleased to welcome Christi Cruz, Vice President, Sponsorship & Corporate Engagement at Global Philanthropic Canada, who will explore how community investment is evolving from corporate philanthropy into a powerful business strategy. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience working with corporations, governments, and non-profit organizations across Canada, Christi will share emerging trends, practical examples, and actionable strategies that organizations of any size can apply. Connect with fellow business and community leaders while gaining fresh insights into how strategic partnerships can strengthen your organization, create lasting community impact, and position your business for long-term success. The keynote presentation will be followed by a fireside chat featuring Nicole Bourque-Bouchier, CEO of Bouchier, and Liana
