Recap: Eastern ARIDO Community Hybrid Townhall

The Eastern ARIDO Community (EAC) recently hosted a successful Hybrid Townhall, bringing members together both in person and virtually, allowing greater engagement and connection among EAC members.

During the Townhall, the EAC shared an overview of the achievements and activities from 2025. The community also outlined exciting events and initiatives planned for the current year including the Tabletop event recently held at Algonquin College, the upcoming Emerging Professional support initiative, a collaboration with the Ottawa Fall Home Show, and the much-anticipated Holiday Gala that will conclude the year.

The EAC extends sincere thanks to ABI for graciously hosting the event, which contributed to an enjoyable and memorable evening for all attendees.

Congratulations to the recipients of the EAC’s bursary, Catherine D’iorio and Simran Potnis. Both are student ARIDO members who have demonstrated outstanding commitment and volunteer work within the community.

Many thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to making the Townhall a valuable opportunity to stay informed, connected, and inspired. The EAC looks forward to welcoming members at the next community initiative.

Here are some highlights of the night.
