Elisa to Host ‘Dandelion Initiative’ Safer Bar & Spaces Training Session on April 16

Bacardi Legacy Canadian Global Finalist Chantelle Gabino is currently travelling across Canada on a tour with the Dandelion Initiative to promote it and her cocktail, Cambiar: A Cocktail for Change. Based out of Toronto, the Dandelion Initiative is a non-profit organization led and founded by survivors to help survivors. “We work to create safer spaces, we build policies that empower, we educate, we support survivors and we resist through education and action.”

On this tour, Educator Viktoria Belle will provide a Safer Bar & Spaces training session. This 3.5 hour interactive session to benefit the Dandelion Initiative is an important step towards making work spaces safe for everyone.

Elisa is honoured to be hosting this event on behalf of the Dandelion Initiative.
