[Hartwood] this could be something we get involved in

[Hartwood]

Dad owns his own business and is a member of a community committee that takes him away one thursday a month up to campbell river. Not just the unemployed, but also those in a managerial position and thus are able to schedule such appointments for themselves... and anyone who doesn't get a weekend off, but rather random days during the work week (like me, when I was working in Victoria)... 

Our communities are too diverse now to schedule something with any hope of guaranteed attendance. Just gotta pitch something and hope.

As to the event itself, would our contribution be kind of like a cross between a demo and a free tutr?

A group of people have come together to facilitate the growth of Culture Days in Nanaimo; we have been brainstorming activities and ways to collaboratively promote the event. We have come up with the idea of creating a “Culture Days Hub” at the downtown library that include various activities in one location; making events more easily promoted and accessible to the community. This location will also build on the Arte de Carnavale event that has taken place in the Diana Krall Plaza for the last two years.

We will also promote the event as a whole by creating a group poster (new this year) and on social, and other media, using the national event registry as our guide for what is happening.
