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 can we put our skills and energy where they actually matter?

How can each of us get to work for a better world?

What’s stopping us?

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 corporate career, gave up his apartment, packed his belongings into his parents’ basement, and set off to explore other possibilities. He eventually returned to build GoodWork, connecting Canadians with opportunities to work for a better world.

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. 

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, both before and after.

Come for the stories, join the conversation, and meet others who care.
