November’s film could be your new  paradigm, a new lens to envision what creative Federal Fiscal Policies can create. An abundance of social services such as Health Care, Education, Infrastructure, and yes, saving our environment. 

Two of our members are so excited about what this new paradigm could mean, they’ve booked the White Rock Library meeting room on November 23rd to continue the discussion with everyone welcome to attend.

FINDING THE MONEY (2024) traces the conflict all the way back to the story we tell about money, injecting new hope and empowering countries around the world to tackle the biggest challenges of the 21st century: from climate change, health care, housing to inequality.

Event Date:
Friday November 22nd, 2024
Location:

White Rock Community Centre,
15154 Russell Ave, White Rock

Doors open at 6:30PM
Film starts at 7:00PM
