Meeting Notes: 2026-04-30 - 4Waves & Musical Performance Planning
Date: 2026-04-30 Attendees: Heather, Ken, Liam Wilkinson (UBI)
Quick Recap
The meeting focused on helping Heather learn how to copy and share content from the 4Waves website platform. Ken guided Heather through the process of selecting, copying, and pasting her submission data into an email, explaining key keyboard shortcuts including Command-A (select all) and Command-C/V (copy and paste). They discussed the potential for a musical performance at an upcoming conference in Toronto, with plans to propose a similar honorarium to what was previously offered and potentially seek additional funding from stakeholders. The conversation also touched on Heather’s background in social justice initiatives and her connection to Guy Standing’s work on the precariat.
Next Steps
Heather
- Ask her daughter and son-in-law (and potentially others) if they would be willing to contribute $100-200 to support the band’s performance.
Ken
- Put together a short proposal for funding support for the band, including the honorarium goal and appeal for contributions, and share it with relevant stakeholders.
- Pitch the funding proposal idea to Kevin (band contact) and confirm the honorarium amount and requirements.
- Format the information Heather sent for better readability and share it as needed.
- Consult with Kevin about technical requirements for the band’s performance at TMU to determine if additional equipment costs are needed.
Summaries
Website Content Copying Process
Heather and Ken discussed how to copy and share content from the 4Waves website.

They successfully shared Heather’s submission from the platform via email, with Ken offering to format the content for better readability before sending. Ken also explained that these keyboard shortcuts are universal across different applications and can be applied to copying and pasting files and folders as well.
Conference Musical Performance Planning
Heather and Ken discussed organizing a musical performance for an upcoming conference in Toronto. They agreed to propose a similar honorarium to what was offered previously, aiming for around 2,500.
