We’re so happy to be back in Ottawa with our second YCEO cohort of the year. Here are some memories from Orientation Day a few weeks back.
Lots of fresh faces but we’re in a familiar space with a few returning mentors and there’s something so sweet and so special about seeing our community here slowly coming together.
We’re growing roots and it feels so good; so a big thanks to everyone helping us make that happen:
@ontrillium for funding our programs.
@ottawaexitlounge for sharing the space.
@_mcovisuals for capturing these beautiful photos.
Wishing all of our participants and mentors the best of luck over the next 8 weeks 💛
