Just some of the virtual events TL Insiders can look forward to in June

More on TL Insider

With your continued support, May was another exceptional month for TL Insider with a variety of virtual events. Members took part in a cocktail masterclass, discovered how to launch their own podcast on a budget, and learned key business skills from some of Canada’s top entrepreneurs. We’re happy to share that June is looking just as exciting! Here’s a sneak peak of what members can look forward to in the weeks to come.

How civic leadership is shaping the future of Toronto

Join TL Insider on June 4 for a conversation with Tamara Balan, interim CEO of CivicAction (pictured above), and Jaipaul Massey-Singh, principal of RIPL Strategic.
