Missed Our Idle No More Event?

On April 2, 2013  Edmonton’s young professionals came together at The Common for interVivos’ first issues awareness event of 2013. interVivos presents: Idle No More?  brought together Melina Laboucan-Massimo, Indigenous and Environmental Activist, and Shalene Jobin-Vandervelde, Assistant Professor Native Studies Faculty for a panel discussion as well as Q&A session with our participants. We were also very fortunate to have Mark Connolly from CBC News Edmonton as the moderator for the evening. We wish to extend to all three of our guests a warm thank you for taking the time out of their hectic schedules to make this event possible.  Click here for a short event video.

Join Us For A Busy 2013!

The interVivos board met in January to talk about what’s coming up for 2013 and boy, is it going to be one jam-packed year! We’ve got a lot of exciting things coming up early this year so there are lots of opportunities for you to come see us or even help us out.

In March we’ll be hosting an Idle No More event to help us get some clarity on the issues surrounding this hot topic. Details should be coming out soon so keep an eye on our social media feeds for the when and where.

2013 is a municipal election year so in April you will find us hosting a group mini-mentoring session with local leaders about how to get involved in your community. Ever thought about running for office? Volunteering on a city board or committee? This is your chance to find out how to get started and what it’s like.

Our mentorship program has been a great success so far and we’re proud to announce that in May and November we’ll be offering our third and fourth sessions. If you know of anyone who would be a great mentor and is looking for a chance to give back to their community or profession, be sure to point them in our direction. If you’re interested in being a protégé, make sure you keep your eyes peeled for when the registration information gets posted as the November 2012 session filled up very quickly!

Many of our previous and current mentorship program participants have asked about opportunities to spend more time together as a group. Therefore, in June, we’ll be hosting a general mentorship mixer. We’re thinking about asking a couple of mentors to speak briefly about their expertise but mostly this will be a chance for anyone who’s participated in the program to mingle and network.

Once again we’ll be partnering with NextGen before the October election to host CandiDate, our municipal election forum. Municipal politicians will be moving to a four year term cycle starting this year so it should be really interesting.

And yes, it’s early, but we’re already thinking about Christmas. What do you think we should do this year?

Idle No More?

Wondering what the issues are behind the Idle No More movement? Would you like to learn more about it? interVivos is organizing an evening to discuss this important issue. Keep your eyes on our website, Facebook page and Twitter account in the coming weeks for details!

We Wish You A Merry Hypnotist: The Debrief

The holiday season has come & gone once again, people look back with fond memories of the holiday get-togethers that were had and the interVivos networking event definitely stands out! On December 20, Edmonton’s young professionals and established leaders came together for an evening of eating, drinking and merriment when interVivos hosted its 7th annual holiday mixer - We Wish You A Merry Hypnotist. The holiday networking event was held at the Pint Off Whyte. The evening’s festivities featured a visit from Ol’ Saint Nick as well as entertainment from hypnotist Keith Miller. Special thanks to Paul Mennier for being our event emcee and to Academy Fabricators for sponsoring the event. In the spirit of giving, proceeds were donated to Edmonton Meals on Wheels. We’re happy to announce that over $700 were raised for the local charity.  

interVivos would like to thank all who attended the event and extend to each of you wishes for a very happy and successful 2013!
