20160516 Vancouver Together 001

May 15, 2016 – April 28, 2016 marked the successful launch of AKFC’s Together exhibition in western Canada.  Over 120 people celebrated the launch at CBC studio in Vancouver by experiencing storytelling presentations from four exemplary global citizens:

Ta’Kaiya Blaney – Award-winning Singer and Environmentalist
Derek Gent – Executive Director at Vancity Community Foundation 
Andrea Reimer – Vancouver City Councillor 
Nareena Switlo – Chief Operating Officer at Naledo Foods and Beverages and AKFC Speaker Bureau Volunteer

Guests were also among the first to hear a live performance of Ta’Kaiya Blaney’s new song, “Earth Revolution,” which will premiere with a music video on World Environment Day, June 5, 2016. After this inspiring program, guests visited the exhibition to witness its powerful message themselves, and to discover ways that they can get involved as global citizens.
