Events

Hope grows fastest in a room full of people. Our gatherings bring stories, learning, and good food to the same table, and the best moments live on in our video library long after the chairs are stacked.

Gatherings we carry with us

June 2026 Al Rashid Mosque, Edmonton

Venture for Hope

Venture for Hope is for those who refuse to stay passive in the face of hardship. A platform where bold ideas, powerful stories, and community-driven solutions came forward to be heard, championed, and, for the strongest ventures, funded to move from vision to real impact. The mentorship and education that grew out of this gathering live on in our video library.
