Ignite: The Electric City Summit Continues to Inspire
Peterborough, ON (July 20, 2023) – The Ignite: The Electric City Summit continues to build momentum weeks after the inaugural event.
The April 20 Summit brought together some of Canada’s brightest leaders, thinkers and influencers to tackle some of the Peterborough region’s problems head on.
A video highlighting some of the thought-provoking speakers, panel discussions and questions is now available. The video features comments from some key panellists, including former Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, who share their thoughts on the role the Ignite: The Electric City Summit will play in reimagining Peterborough’s future.
This video can also be found on a new webpage dedicated to Ignite: The Electric City Summit and on Fleming’s YouTube channel.
Fleming College reaffirmed its commitment to the solutions presented during the Summit by gifting the City of Peterborough with a graphic created in real-time throughout that day.
The graphic, illustrated by artist Shannon Loomer, captured some of the day’s key phrases, challenges and ideas.
Fleming President Maureen Adamson presented the art to Peterborough Mayor Jeff Leal at City Hall June 23.
“The Ignite Summit was not just about sharing ideas and finding solutions, it was about Fleming’s commitment to the city and surrounding region,” said President Maureen Adamson. “This gift to the City of Peterborough is a reminder of our collective commitment and dedication to follow through on the proposed solutions and ideas, and reignite the region.”
