Early Drafting Stage

Community Board Engagement Recap
Our Community Board Engagement had to cut short but we are lucky to have received such an overwhelming response. In early March, we put up a board at the community centre where people can write their response to our questions. We decorated the board with our theme colour and stapled zines all around so people…
Zine Workshop: A Recap!
Like the rest of the world, we are staying home right now! But we are missing the days of crowds and spending time with others face-to-face. Reminiscing on that, we thought we would take a look back at the zine workshop we had a couple of weeks ago. It was a lot of fun, and…
