In this episode of United Voices, we sit down with Meg from the Social Development Centre Waterloo Region to unpack the growing issue of renovictions - when tenants are forced out of their homes under the guise of major renovations.

We explore what renovictions mean for individuals and families in Cambridge, North Dumfries, and across the region, and how this practice contributes to housing insecurity, displacement, and rising poverty. Meg shares stories from community members with lived experience, the role of advocacy in protecting tenants’ rights, and what systemic change is needed to ensure everyone has a safe, stable place to call home.

In this special back-to-school episode, United Voices welcomes Erin Moraghan, CEO of Nutrition for Learning, for a conversation about food, equity, and opportunity. Serving more than 2 million meals every year, Nutrition for Learning is a game-changer for students across Waterloo Region.

Erin discusses the organization’s bold vision: moving beyond being just a band-aid for hunger to becoming a vital tool for student and community success. From growing programs to tackling systemic barriers, this episode highlights why United Way is proud to support and partner with Nutrition for Learning — and why access to food is at the heart of building a stronger community for all.
