THANK-YOU The Edmonton Shift Lab is honoured to express our deep gratitude to all the folks that helped along the way. This includes those who have contributed over the years to social innovation and anti-racism work anonymously, unnamed and unheard. We see you, and are grateful for your help in getting us to where we are at today.
