Get Lit(erate) Guelph

  • University Club – University of Guelph, Level 5 of the University Centre 50 Stone Road West Guelph, ON, N1G 5L3 Canada (map)

Get Lit(erate) Guelph is an annual fundraiser in support of the Start2Finish Running & Reading Clubs (Guelph).  The event seeks to promote the value of literature in positively impacting the lives of readers. This reflects the Start2Finish Running & Reading Club’s goal of empowering kids with the tools to lift themselves out of poverty and achieve lifelong success.

The event features local celebrities or well-known community members reading a passage from their favorite book and sharing how it has impacted and inspired them. Our hope is that their stories will, in turn, encourage attending members of the community to help empower local children to create similar stories of their own as they build their cycle of success through the Start2Finish program.

To purchase tickets, please register online or contact Wendy Banks at guelph@start2finishonline.org or (226) 821-0512.

Land Acknowledgement

We would like to acknowledge the land on which we work, and which Start2Finish operates, is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples inhabited and cared for this land. In particular, we acknowledge the territory of the Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Ojibway/Chippewa peoples; the land that is home to the Metis; and most recently, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation who are direct descendants of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land, and by doing so, give our respect to its first inhabitants.

We welcome you to acknowledge the land you are on https://www.whose.land/fr/
