What does it mean to belong? On this episode of Your Region Pod, we look at how belonging benefits the whole community. The idea for this episode came out of a symposium called “Forward Together: Activating Change, Amplifying Belonging." The event, hosted by the Immigration Partnership, Children and Youth Planning Table, and the Community Safety and Wellbeing Plan, brought together community members and organizations who work with individuals and groups who are often excluded and face barriers to opportunities that many of us take for granted. We speak with some of the participants, and learn what the Region is doing to help through the Upstream fund.Be sure to sign up for our monthly newsletter Around The Region for news and stories on how The Region is becoming one of the best places to live in Canada.You can find Your Region Pod wherever you stream your favorite podcasts.Website: https://yourregionpod.buzzsprout.com Spotify: Your Region Pod | Podcast on SpotifyiTunes: Your Region Pod on Apple Podcasts Send us an email!Instagram: Regional Municipality of Waterloo (@regionofwaterloo) • Instagram photos and videosFacebook: Region of Waterloo | Kitchener ON | FacebookSend us an email!Instagram: Regional Municipality of Waterloo (@regionofwaterloo) • Instagram photos and videos Facebook: Region of Waterloo | Kitchener ON | Facebook

When it comes to gaming, I really don't know much. Like, my experience is pretty limited to Mario Kart and Super Mario Bros and maybe a few other older games. Apart from that, I got the smallest taste of Spider-Man Remastered and Spider-Man 2 and completely fell in love. So when I got the idea to discuss gaming, I knew I had to bring on a friend who has a love for gaming and a love for the Spider-Man games! Which is why I was so excited to bring back my friend Nemo. Obviously he's a Spider-Man fan, but the second I saw him posting about gaming on TikTok - I knew I had to get him on for this episode. I hope you all enjoy this episode! . . .
