SUMMARY:Possibility Circle: Neighbour-Led Learning & Action #3
DESCRIPTION:The Possibility Circle is a monthly gathering for neighbours who want to strengthen connections\, share ideas\, and explore what’s possible where they live. Rooted in Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD)\, this circle brings people together to learn from one another\, celebrate small wins\, and grow local action – one spark at a time. \nMany participants are current or past Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG) project leaders\, volunteers\, or folks who are simply curious about getting involved. The Circle offers a supportive space to reflect on NSG experiences\, develop new ideas\, and explore how small\, neighbour-led moments can grow into lasting community impact. \nEveryone is welcome – whether you’ve hosted an NSG project\, are dreaming up your first one\, or are just looking for a place to connect with others in your community. Throughout the year\, guest speakers from the Tamarack Institute and kinSHIFT will join us to share stories\, tools\, and perspectives that support neighbour-led learning and action. \nThis is an online circle\, you are encouraged to bring your dinner\, settle in from wherever you are\, and join us for an hour and a half of connection\, learning\, and possibility. \n\nMarch 4 – Sparking Ideas & Collaboration \nBring your ideas and we’ll help shape them into simple\, doable projects or gatherings. A great month for anyone preparing to apply for a NSG. Application opens March 6th!

SUMMARY:Films about Food: "The Hands That Feed Us"
DESCRIPTION:The Hands That Feed Us looks closely at the lives of farmers across the country\, and the quiet\, often invisible pressures shaping our food system. It asks what it truly costs to grow food\, what kind of life that work makes possible\, and what happens when rising land values and economic strain push farmers to the margins. These are not distant concerns. They affect the health\, stability\, and long-term resilience of our own region. \nWe’re pleased to present this event in partnership with our friends at Tempest Theatre. Join us on the afternoon of March 22nd for a screening and community conversation with filmmaker Devon Cooke. For more information\, please visit Tempest Theatre’s website. \n \n
