🎤✨ Speaker Spotlight: Nathalie Provost

YWCA Kitchener-Waterloo is honoured to welcome Nathalie Provost to the 5th Annual YW Rise Up Breakfast on May 22, 2026, at Bingemans Conference Centre.

A distinguished engineer, Canada’s Secretary of State (Nature), and survivor of the École Polytechnique massacre, Ms. Provost brings a powerful story of resilience, leadership, and advocacy. Awarded the Canadian Medal of Bravery, she has dedicated her career to public service, environmental leadership, and advancing gun control as a longtime voice with PolySeSouvient.

Elected in 2025 to represent Châteauguay–Les Jardins-de-Napierville, she continues to inspire audiences across Canada with her commitment to meaningful change.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear her story. Tickets are available now ($150, partial tax receipt included)

This is more than breakfast—it’s where change begins.

Please join us for the 5th Annual YW Rise Up Breakfast charity event on May 22, 2026 as Guest Speaker MP Nathalie Provost, an inspiring Canadian public servant and a courageous survivor of the 1989 École Polytechnique shooting. Now serving as the Liberal Member of Parliament and Secretary of State (Nature), she is a strong advocate for stronger gun control, decisive action against gender-based violence, and safer communities across Canada.

Including a partial tax receipt to be issued after the event. The event is from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM.
