At Fernwood NRG, we believe that our community is made stronger through the voices and experiences of those who call it home and the people who come through our doors. We’re excited to announce a new video project we are putting together, “Voices of Fernwood – Story Collection“, and we need your help to bring it to life! If you’ve been positively impacted by the work of Fernwood NRG, and are interested in sharing your story, please get in touch.  

We’re inviting our community, staff, volunteers, and participants to share their stories about how Fernwood NRG and the Fernwood Community Centre have made a difference in their lives. Whether it’s a moment of support, a cherished memory, or a way the community has uplifted you, your story matters. 

We are collecting these stories and will be sharing the video collection at our Annual General Meeting on September 23 after our weekly Community Dinner. We would be so grateful for anyone willing to share your experience; it would be a huge support for our organization. 

Please get in touch or submit your video by September 16.  

You can contribute by: 

  1. Joining us for a short video interview at the Fernwood Community Centre. 
  1. Submitting a video of you sharing your story. 
  1. Writing down your story if you’d prefer. You can email your story to and we can have someone read it and bring it to life for the video. You can stay anonymous if you prefer. 

 

Creating your video can be as simple as asking a friend to film you on your phone for 30 seconds. Or, if you’d like to come in and have us film you sharing your story, we are happy to work with you! 

Some questions to spark your imagination of what to share: 

  • How has Fernwood NRG positively impacted your life? 
  • What does the Fernwood Community Centre mean to you personally? 
  • How has the support from Fernwood NRG helped you or your family? 
  • Can you describe a time when you felt especially connected to the community through Fernwood NRG? 
  • Is there a particular program or event at Fernwood NRG that you found especially meaningful? 

Together, we’ll celebrate the power of connection and the positive impact of Fernwood NRG. 

Interested in participating? Contact mila@fernwoodnrg.ca if you have any questions, to submit a story, or what to book a time to be filmed. We’re here to help. Thank you so much!
