Once a month, community members get together to cook meals for their family to enjoy, at a reduced cost. Buying produce in bulk brings many `monetary` benefits, and leads to fun times and good shared experience. We also recycle and compost. For a family of four, the cost would be $10 per month for 4 freeze-able meals for each person.
The next collective kitchen is Monday May 21, 2012: 1.00-4.00p.m.
Contact Luisa at (lvrizzi@hotmail.com) for further information and to sign up.
The next Early Childhood Mapping meeting is May 8th, 6:00pm-7:30: Multicultural Health Brokers – 9538 107 Avenue (Child care and a light meal will be provided). Please come along and bring a friend.
The Early Child Development Mapping Project (ECMap) aims to strengthen Alberta’s ability to make positive early childhood development a reality for every child in the province. It aims to provide current information on early childhood development in Alberta. Promote understanding of how children’s early years impact lifelong development. And, enable governments at various levels to monitor early childhood development and make informed decisions. To find out more, please go to https://www.ecmap.ca/Pages/default.aspx
The goal of the ‘Dear john Letter’ campaign is to discourage sexual exploitation in the community, raise awareness, and encourage participation in the promotion of community safety.
If you’re sick and tired of ‘john’ and his ways – Tweet and blog to your heart’s content! On April 25th, write your own message to ‘john’ in the comment section on www.TransformingEdmonton.ca and Tweet him using the hash tag #Dearjohn.
Let’s let him know the relationship is over – we’re moving on and he should too. You are invited to attend the unveiling of the campaign on April 25, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. on the South corner of 90 Street and 118 Avenue. The Neighbourhood Empowerment Team, We Believe in 118, and CEASE will bring greetings and unveil the signs featuring messages from the Dear ‘john’ letters.
The ‘dear john’ project will consist of three main components:
1. The ‘Dear john Letter’ (a break up letter from the community to ‘john’) will be posted on www.TransformingEdmonton.ca April 25th and will serve as the central point for information.
2. Signs featuring messages from the Dear ‘john’ letter will be unveiled along 118 Avenue April 25, 2012. Signs will act as mobile deterrents, and will routinely change locations so as to capitalize on their visual impact.
3. The public will be encouraged to write their own message to ‘john’ in the comment section on www.TransformingEdmonton.com and Tweet him using the hashtag #Dearjohn.

The more incidents we report, the better the awareness is of issues facing the community.
