ChangeMaker Pub Night returns to the Harmony Centre in Owen Sound on March 22, and if you want to know who’s planning to make a difference in the community, you don’t want to miss it.

This annual event, organized by Barry Randall, gives local organizations and residents a chance to mingle, chat, and connect.

Each participating group gets three minutes to share its “elevator pitch”—that is, what it does, any current needs it has, and how others can get involved. Outside of these structured talks, ChangeMaker Pub Night is an opportunity to connect with others in meaningful yet informal conversations about positive social change.
