The Fernwood Welcoming Group is getting ready to make something amazing happen — and we need you to bring it to life!
 
Over the past few months, community members have come together to imagine what “welcoming” truly means. From those conversations came 11 ideas: Bike Raves, Fashion Shows, Potlucks, Street Murals, Movie Nights, Welcome Baskets, and more—all designed to help our new Caledonia neighbours feel right at home in Fernwood.
 
Now it’s time to turn those ideas into action.

We’re looking for community leaders and volunteers to help make these initiatives a reality. Whether you love planning events, connecting with people, creating art, or just want to make new friends, there’s a place for you here.
 
Each project will be supported by Fernwood Neighbourhood House, a team of volunteers, and micro-grants ($250–$1,500) to help bring your idea to life. If you feel inspired to lead one of these projects, or an idea of your own, you can apply for a microgrant to bring it to life! Learn more here.
 
This is your chance to shape what “welcome” looks like in Fernwood—a neighbourhood known for its creativity, diversity, and community spirit.

Email Christian at Christian.C@fernwoodnrg.ca to sign up as a leader or volunteer. Let’s show our new neighbours the heart of Fernwood — together. 💛
