SPEAKER AT OUR NEXT MEETING

Brian Paul is the Executive Director of Supportive Housing of Waterloo (SHOW).

SHOW is a local non-profit that designs, builds, and operates permanent, affordable homes paired with onsite supports for people who’ve experienced homelessness.

SHOW’s work is rooted in the belief that housing is a fundamental right, and its teams focus on helping tenants stabilize health, rebuild skills, and reconnect with community through a Housing First and harm-reduction approach.

In short: it’s housing plus the practical, day-to-day supports that help people stay housed.

A Cambridge resident, Brian will share his unique perspective regarding today's growing homelessness and encampments challenges.

PERSONAL VIGNETTE: Also in this meeting, a member will be delivering his personal vignette.

LUNCH BUNCH: After the meeting, all members are invited to have lunch (at their own cost) at a local restaurant. A great way to get to know your fellow members.

ABOUT OUR LAST MEETING

What was it like working for the Royals? Ms Jean Rowcliffe (who lives in St Marys) told her story. She is a retired nanny, formerly employed by the Royal family. She began working for them as a 17 year old servant at Buckingham Palace in 1974.

After 18 months she briefly returned to Canada, before heading back to England to attend the prestigious Norland College (the training ground which still produces nannies for the Royal Family including the Prince and Princess of Wales).

After she graduated in 1979, her previous experience at Buckingham Palace helped her land a job as a nanny, helping the Prince and Princess of Kent raise a young Lord Frederick Windsor and Lady Gabriella Kingston.

She spent four and a half years at Kensington Palace before continuing her career in other fascinating locations around the world.

PERSONAL VIGNETTE: Also in this meeting, Martin Pemberton deliveried his personal vignette.
