We are starting 2026 with a Rotary Field Trip!  Nick has arranged for our January 13 Meeting to be held at the Velocity Incubator in Downtown Kitchener.  We will be hearing from a number of Velocity Founders (just like Nick) that are tackling problems and creating real solutions.  It should be an exciting time to learn what is being created right here in KW.

Here is an updated timeline for Tuesday's Meeting:

4:30-5pm: Arrivals

5-6:00pm: Dinner, networking, tours

• Tours will start at 5:00 and 5:15.  They will take about 10 minutes to explore the space

6:00-6:10pm: Rotary introduction and welcome (O Canada etc.)

6:10-6:20pm: Introduction from Moazam Khan, Director of Velocity

6:20-6:50: Meet the Founders, hear pitches from 3-4 founders developing game-changing innovations 

• opportunity to ask questions to each. 7-10 minutes per founder (3 min of demo/pitch presentation followed by questions from the audience)

Should be an exciting night! 

Here are some details about the location and parking:

Velocity is located at 280 Joseph St in Kitchener (right across from Communitech) and 1 block away from the Ion’s Central Station stop (corner of King and Victoria). Our parking lot is the 2nd entrance on the right after turning onto Joseph St from Victoria St. Anyone parking in our lot must pay using the AMP app ($7.25 flat rate per day).
