Brainstorming Community Events

At the last General Meeting, we generated ideas for community events. Rebuilding community is something that we all talk about doing, but we have not been able to prioritize it recently. This has been a key aspect of WCU from the beginning, but it could benefit from more focus and consideration now.

Below are the ideas we brainstormed at the last general meeting. Please feel free to add any new ideas or expand on the existing ones in this thread. If this tread has a lot of feedback, I will update this post to include everyone’s ideas.

  • Park day for kids, with us bringing drinks, food, games but coordinating between many people so there is safety in numbers
  • Hiking
  • Community garden
  • Sports sponsor
  • National night out
  • Life skills for boys with single mothers; partner with trade unions
  • Poster making party, art making, poetry, singing
  • Grieving space
  • Art center
  • Put up art on electrical boxes
  • Generic training + skill share
  • Local trips or tours of local areas
  • Townhall with community
  • Friendship associations
  • Hobby programs for adults
  • Mile chasers with strollers
