Placemaking Café

Are you wondering how you can get more involved in your community or neighbourhood?  This year the Placemaking Network is hoping to give our community members more reasons and opportunities to gather.  We’re thinking about ways we can host and nurture community: a book club, our LFL festival, painting a mural together, workshops and other ideas our Board is dreaming into.  This month we’re hosting our first Placemaking Café of the year.  Our intention is for these to be regular gatherings, with different topics and themes that encourage us to connect and engage with our neighbourhoods and shared spaces.

Please join us for a guided conversation and exploration on the topic of greeting neighbours–even/especially strangers–and cultivating a local culture of doing so. There will be prompts, some time for collecting your thoughts on your own, exploring in small groups, and bringing together the threads across the room.

We’ll have some snacks and refreshments available.  This gathering is FREE to attend.

What:       A guided conversation on GREETING NEIGHBOURS
When:      Saturday March 21, 10-11:30am
Where:    NeighbourSpace, 708 Douglas St, beside the Victoria Conference Centre

Come and share your experiences, hopes, challenges, opinions, expertise, curiosity… Everyone is welcome, we’d love to meet you.

Doors:      9:45am
Start:        10am (please arrive on time so the conversation can build)
End:          11:30am

There is an accessible entrance at street level and one accessible washroom.

The Greater Victoria Placemaking Network is a volunteer-run non-profit society whose mission is to inspire people, neighbourhoods and communities to create vibrant public places that promote health, happiness and well-being.

We are grateful to the City of Victoria for providing the NeighbourSpace for us to gather.
