EVENT: Main Street Car Free Day

June 12, 2010 – 5:32 pm

Main Street Car-free Day - 30th & Main - make a speech bubble with us. Photo from Transition Town Ashland.

Walk, bike or take public transit and come visit with us and talk about how to “create community through the art.” On Sunday, June 20, we’ll be Main Street close to 30th at the Village Vancouver Arts & Celebration Group’s area. We’re one of several aspects to VV’s demonstration neighbourhood. Learn about — chickens, bees, permaculture, solar energy….. Think about – and talk about: What would your ideal neighbourhood look like?

Our part is by contributing sample speech bubbles and then taking your photo with your favorite saying – or let you make your own. It’s part of the People’s Summit and linked in with Car Free Vancouver Day.

Raien and Jessie will be there from noon to 3 and Aleida and Sean from 3-6. Come and say “hi” and get your photo taken. (And thanks to Sabrina and Laura for making the speech bubbles.)

CACV will be there creating community through the arts.

Working with environmental artist Sharon Kallis, community members will come together and learn weaving skills while creating unique bird nests and perches out of dogwood, hardhack, blackberry and flag iris. Participants’ awareness of the local ecosystem will be increased as they enhance bird habitat and take an active environmental stewardship role in their local park.
