My project idea consists of creating a group or community organization that hosts consistent and intentional spoken word nights, art nights, and spaces for people to share writing or art or pieces that are important to them, whether it’s through performances or storytelling or workshops. Curating a space like this is important for community in terms of having a reliable and welcoming place to be vulnerable, creative, and to heal and learn from others. As current event planner and editor for roots on 6 - a digital storytelling platform - at IFSSA, I already organize similar events and believe that working with Roots on 6 might help with resources and audience, although I am open to starting fresh. Funds would be used for booking spaces, sound equipment, artists, and materials for potential workshops as well.

Magpie Puppet Club first began in September 2017. The puppet shows are performed in English. At present, we have seven volunteers. Puppeteers have been very devoted in practicing and performing at various community events such as: Mid-autumn Festival, Chinese New Year, Alberta Culture Days, Anti-racism Conversions (May)and recently at a children summer camp. We usually perform cultural and social justice stories. During the pandemic we were able to perform virtually with the assistance a volunteer who edited the individual recordings into smooth flowing stories. But for now, without a portable sound system that allows puppeteers to amplify their “character” voices the stories cannot be fully performed.  I wish to receive your support in acquiring a sound system that enables us to perform both indoors and outdoors. I would like to continue performing cultural stories to children. I also wish to collaborate with communities of different heritage.

Intercultural Dialogue
I would like to host a story telling night for immigrant women in Millwoods / Meadows/ Summerside which highlights the struggles that , language barriered  immigrant women face while trying to integrate. We can write develop a mime, a short play that asks for more acceptance, patience and a friendly smile  and an openness to hear the stories of struggle that specifically women face in integrating. Thanks

IDEA: I want to create a mini zine (a small booklet made from half a page of paper) that is a combination of art from Muslim creators (who I have contact with, will not need to be paid) and practical advice for bystanders on how to be actively antiracist.

PURPOSE:There are two purposes of this zine. 1- give well-meaning people advice on how to be actively antiracist, 2- humanize Muslims through art. The art in purpose 2 will be mainly the background spreads for the words of purpose 1.

COST and DISTRIBUTION: Mini-zines are half the size of regular zines. It costs $1.30 to print a double-sided paper at Staples (I am not completely sure what the other side would be, but it would be interesting to make it a poster or even something more practical like a calendar). So each costs 65 cents to make (one page can make two). It's very expensive to mail, so perhaps we could talk to libraries, bookshops and other institutions in the Karhiio ward to have some on display.

I am very excited to work on this project that would benefit our community!!!

1-3 beach volleyball courts in Secord, Rosewood, and/or Rosenthal communities. The young demographic of these communities will result in frequent use of the courts in summertime. (We don’t have any beach courts in the west side 🙄🙄)

Some intersections are getting busier and busier. Driving would be safer with more four way intersections, I wish we could have a community league meeting to discuss some of these intersections.

Street parties with live music and local food and shops. Disc golf baskets in parks. Amazing race scavenger hunts around community, Parks day poker run with different activities at each park. Community off leash dog parks. Community curb free-cycle events with large item pick up at the end of the day.

To break down the walls and let people know what its like to be in a position of a counselor. Invite some people to spend a half day with a counselor to see what actually happens in the daily life of a counselor.
A wonderful, educational, and inspiring day to show people what's actually involved. Whether that group is students from a high-school, college, or from a community.
To promote openness, friendliness, and trust.

Giant Chess in Jackie Parker Park, Linda Doucette, Karhiio

# data[].attributes.body
For the launch of Chess in The Park this year, July 2nd, The Arts Council brought out their giant chess set. That day it rained all day and no one got to see or enjoy it. We have had many successful events throughout the summer since then, with many children joining to play as well, but we have never had the giant set again. It was a one-time thing with their set. It would be nice if Jackie Parker Park, through either the city or a community league, had a set like that one available to use for community events and to share/lend among the various community leagues.

This idea is based upon connecting with our community kids and giving them more opportunity to enjoy recreational sports.
We would like to purchase the clear plexi glass backgrounds and add solar led lights into the framing to allow the kids to play later into the evenings.

This project will add colour into an area that is dominated by greys and whites. While many locations should be considered, I think that the transit centre walkway at Mill Woods Station is the best option.

-It is going to be one of the highest pedestrian traffic areas in Mill Woods
-Lack of heavy vehicles means it will last longer
-would help commemorate the opening of the Valley Line

It'd be great to have them in different neighbourhoods, maybe besides playgrounds, dog parks, or a set of local shops. Where people gather!

Can we expand the Knottwood adopt a bench program to the entire Ward?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We currently have one more bench available for adoption. Sponsors will volunteer to put one of these community benches on their property and will be required to paint their bench (paint provided) in their own unique way, keep the bench accessible all year long, maintain the bench in good condition, make it inviting, locate it where it is easily accessible and sign an agreement with the community league.

We are excited to announce the launch of the Knottwood Bench Project. In efforts to make our neighbourhood more walkable, we have purchased community benches that have been placed in various locations around Knottwood.
