Doing Good Work

Green Drinks – Doing Good Work, with
Peter Blanchard of GoodWork.ca

Sala San Marco, 215 Preston Street, Ottawa
Thursday October 15, 2026 – 5:30 to 7pm

How do we work for a better world?
How do we put our skills and energy where they actually matter?

This month's Green Drinks is hosted with our new sponsor, Peter Blanchard, founder of GoodWork.ca, Canada's green and social jobs board.

Peter walked away from an unsatisfying job at an IT company, travelled the world on a shoestring, and came home to build a social enterprise that does good and pays the bills.

Peter will share his story briefly, then it's over to you. Around your table, you'll swap ideas and daydreams on how each of us can do more "good work," whether that's a new job, a volunteer role, starting something of your own, or shifting what you already do. Each table will share one highlight with the room.

Whether you're job hunting, restless in your current role, or just curious, come for the conversation and stay to connect. Plenty of open networking time before and after.
