Our featured presentation this Sunday (20 – 30 minutes) will be a conversation between Paul Kaplan and one of the Toronto Oasis organizers, Tania Akon, following up on Paul’s Capitalism 101 talk. This will be followed by a discussion/Q&A (15 – 20 minutes) when other participants will have an opportunity to join in the conversation.

Clive Hannah will do the Community Moment. The Community Moment is a chance for one of our own to share their journey, thoughts about life, or something personal about themselves. It could be light and silly or it could be emotionally heavy. Either way, you’ll learn more about a valued person in our community. Interested in presenting your own Community Moment? Contact Tania at 416oasis@gmail.com.
