Workshop Series - Community Building through Placemaking

• Want to meet your neighbours?
• Interested in sharing food, fun, and inspiration?
• Curious about placemaking and how to implement it in Crescent Heights?
  
• Want to find out how to receive up to $1000 for your community placemaking project?

Join us for a series of engaging workshops designed to connect neighbours, create better public spaces, and improve your neighbourhood through creative approaches.

These workshops are offered by the Crescent Heights Community Association as they move toward their first-ever placemaking festival from May 1 to July 1. While these workshops will focus specifically on community building in Crescent Heights, residents of other neighbourhoods may attend. This series is designed so that each workshop offers unique content but they also build upon each other in content - you are invited to attend one, two, or all three!

Cost: FREE! We do ask that you register in advance as space is limited. We also ask that you bring something for the community potluck after each of the workshops.

Session 3 - April 15 from 3pm-6pm

Lindsay Meads (co-owner of reGenerate Design) and Alla Guelber (founder of the Meaningful Work Project) will share their personal experiences with placemaking and projects in Calgary, as well as stories and examples from their studies with architect Mark Lakeman of the City Repair Project in Portland, Oregon. They will guide you and your neighbours through thought-provoking activities to directly apply placemaking skills to create what you want to see in your community! Identify spatial relationships within the community, uncover candidate sites for placemaking projects, determine destinations and routes within the neighbourhood, and analyse neighbourhood values and assets. And yes, it’s just that important and fun, so we’ll have a potluck following the session.
