I'd rather find a different venue for 1 October instead of shifting
the date. IDOPAN (International Days Of Peace And Nonviolence)
stretches from 21 September (UN Day of Peace) to 2 October (UN Day of
Nonviolence); it would be great to be a part of that.

If Kitchener City Hall Council Chambers are available I'm OK with
that, although the seating isn't ideal for small groups discussion.

If we're relocating to Queen Street Commons then I suggest that the
event go from 4:00pm to 9:00pm. QSC normally closes at 4:00pm on a
Saturday, so by starting our event at 4:00pm the customers already in
the cafe are a ready-made audience, better than trying to attract
people to the Cafe when it's supposed to be closed at 6:00pm.
