Speaker's Bureau

Looking for a workshop facilitator, a guest speaker on a local or world issue? Call KWIC at 748-1680!

The KWIC Speakers Bureau is a database of local speakers who have volunteered to share their personal knowledge and experiences with the community – as public speakers, discussion leaders, lecturers, and in many other capacities. This year KWIC’s focus is on environmental issues, and the expertise that members of the Peterborough community possess in this area is reflected in the wide variety of issues and subjects matters that can be found in the Speakers Bureau. This project includes a User’s Manual of how to use the database, an article for KWIC’s fall newsletter describing the project and it benefits to the community, as well as a personal reflection, which focuses on the development and implementation of the project, and offers recommendations for improvements and growth of the project in general and / or similar projects.
