Expert Excursion: Community Action Projects with Charlotte Fesnoux
(youth, adults)
Location: The Portal, 254 North Cove Road

A Thetis Island tool library, fruitful community gardens, a collaborative solar power project, resource exchange, trail network expansion, a native plant nursery - the list goes on. Projects that boost Thetis Island’s resilience and sustainability are endless and are all possible. But to increase the chances of project success, a solid foundation - exploring the realities of the project, roles, responsibilities, and overall project sustainability - is essential. This Friday, from 2-4pm, Charlotte will facilitate a workshop on how to collaborate on sustainable action projects and will provide a lattice in which you can grow your project. Be ready to ideate, engage, and collaborate!

This workshop is ideal for parents engaged in homeschooling activities and anyone keen to participate in collaborative projects that make our island home more sustainable.
