What is new and exciting on concession street

May 20th SIDEWALK SOUNDS a HIT with the Concession St community

5/21/2016

 
Our inaugural SIDEWALK SOUNDS took place last night - and the reception it got took us all by surprise!  Last night we saw HUNDREDS of people come out to enjoy some FANTASTIC music, browse some brilliant creative local artisanal talents and browse our businesses along Concession Street. 
​The weather was splendid and people flocked to check out what all the Sidewalk Sounds buzz was about!  We are very happy to be able to offer our next event in just one month - June 17th will host more music, more entertainment and another wonderful night out on the Hamilton mountain!

May Board of Management Meeting CHANGE

5/11/2016

 
This upcoming May 17th will host our regular Board of Management meeting, however the location of this meeting has CHANGED.  Please be advised that the meeting will be held at
625 Concession Street (St. Stephen-on-the-Mount Anglican Church instead of the usual Hamilton Public Library - Concession Branch).

The meeting will start at 6pm and run until 7:30pm.  After the board meeting we have invited 100in1Day to walk our Concession BIA through an exciting workshop.  This will run from 7:30pm-8:30pm.  

100in1Day:
By contributing an intervention, you have an opportunity to share an existing idea or test out a new one, and have it profiled as part of a big day of civic engagement by collectively building a community that you would like to see.

This is an event for anyone and everyone to participate in, at any capacity, almost anywhere in their community!

Anyone can participate! Young or old, new to the city or lifetime resident. May 17th is a day of possibility – where you can re-imagine your city. If you’ve ever had an idea for your neighbourhood or community, here is your chance to test it out. You can also come and take a look at the interventions themselves if you just wanted to learn what people are getting up to. No idea is too small!

All are invited to attend - BIA and public are welcome!

SIDEWALK SOUNDS has 5 planned dates on the 3rd Friday of the month: 
May 20, June 17, July 15, August 19, September 16.
