People might say 'two heads are better than one', but for the City of Colwood, two is not enough.
For the city's upcoming Ideas Fair, the whole community is asked to don their thinking caps to help brainstorm how the city can be improved.
Described by the city as a fun and interactive event, the Ideas Fair invites Colwood residents to have conversations and share their thoughts with councillors, staff and each other on a wide range of topics.
And nothing is off the table; everything city-related is up for discussion, with stations assigned to specific topics, including housing, transportation, parking, health, disaster resilience, youth, volunteers, animals, litter and everything in between.
“This council is focused on listening to residents to better understand their needs and expectations,” said Mayor Doug Kobayashi in a news release. “One way we do that is by hosting annual ideas fairs that spur meaningful conversation about topics that are important to our community.”
The city's third annual Ideas Fair will be held on Saturday, May 10, from 3 to 5 p.m. at Colwood Corners, 1905 Sooke Rd. "You can't miss us – we'll be in the lease space right on Sooke Road in the corner unit near Save On Foods," said a city spokesperson.
