Idea_fest_email_image_generic

I warmly invite you to participate in the 2018 Kamloops Idea Festival on Saturday March 17th.

Register here.

About 125 Kamloops citizens participated in the first Kamloops Idea Festival in 2013. We came together to learn about and engage in dialogue over a broad range of community initiatives and issues. Feedback was quite positive.

 

I committed to hold another Idea Festival in my civic election platform in 2014. The focus here will be on climate action. I view this as a critical conversation and believe strongly that a diverse range of citizens and community organizations need to be involved in this conversation.

 

The goal of the 2018 Idea Festival is to help to start crafting community consensus on climate action activities in Kamloops.

 

The festival will go for three hours and will consist of:

 

  • Short “lightning” talks about climate action from a variety of very interesting perspectives. We will strive to nclude perspectives not often heard in discussions on climate action.

  • Small group dialogues on various facets of climate action. We will be asking event registrants for suggestions for small group topics.

  • Short artistic performances between different event activities.

 

We hope to offer another opportunity for a diverse range of citizens to get to know each other and to have fun thinking more deeply about our community.

 

Tha 2018 Kamloops Idea Festival will be held from 9am to 12pm at the Rex Hall, 417 Seymour Street, downtown Kamloops. A light mid morning breakfast will be provided.

 

Registration is required. Register here.

The Kamloops Idea festival is an opportunity for Kamloops citizens to get a broad overview of what’s happening in town, to dialogue with each other over community issues, and to get inspired about the many opportunities we have to collaborate and work together.

The festival will go for three hours and will consist of:

  • short “lightning” talks about a diverse range of innovative Kamloops initiatives - from the business, social services, cultural, arts, and other communities.
  • small group dialogues on community issues
  • short performances by Kamloops musicians

The goals of the Kamloops Idea Festival:

  • to allow Kamloopsians an easy way to learn about a diverse range of local activities
  • to guide the 2013 work of Councillor Arjun Singh
  • to have fun while thinking more deeply about our community
