Jamii Art Workshops for Senior Residents

7/27/2017

1 Comment

 
Picture

Local arts-based community organization, Jamii, has created a theme for its activities this season called FEETPRINT.

​FEETPRINT is all about exploring the questions:

Who am I?
Where do I belong?
How do I behave?

FEETPRINT is a multi-layered storytelling project that sees 150 people of all ages
sharing their stories by creating shoe designs using markers (a project inspired by
Art on Sneakers http://martkd.com). Each designed shoe will become part of a
collection that will grow throughout the summer season and will be displayed at
different events. 

The intent of this effort is to ignite conversations about individual journeys and identities
through the creative process of designing canvas shoes with markers. These
journeys will inspire a participatory film project (2018) that will document activities and will be screened in the St. Lawrence community during December.

Jamii is inviting senior residents of the St. Lawrence neighbourhood to design one shoe, which will join the growing collection of shoes and will be exhibited at Jamii's upcoming August FEETPRINT Live
in the Park event.

The shoe design takes place during a series of 3 workshops, led by local visual artist Kerryn Graham.
Workshops (Location TBC) will take place:

Tuesday Aug 15 2pm to 4pm
Thursday Aug 17 2pm to 4pm
Tuesday Aug 22 2pm to 4pm

Followingt these workshops participants will be invited to put the final touch on their shoes on August
26th (6pm to 9pm) during "FEETPRINT Live in the Park” where the collection will be displayed.

This series of 3 workshops are designed as a welcoming space to share your story with the group. There is no drawing experience necessary and no cost involved.

To confirm your interest in this project, please contact Jamii by Monday August 7 via email:  info@jamiiesplanade.org.

A Tribute to Deputy Mayor Pam McConnell

7/8/2017

Picture
​In 1994, Deputy Mayor Pam McConnell became a City Councillor and spent countless hours working with residents and groups to build healthy communities for all Torontonians. 

This present term marked Deputy Mayor McConnell's seventh at Council. She served as Deputy Mayor and was selected by Mayor Tory in 2015 as the champion of the City's Poverty Reduction Strategy. She also served as a member of the Government Management Committee, the Affordable Housing Committee, and the Toronto and East York Community Council as well as several other boards, committees and Business Improvement Areas.

As City Councillor for Ward 28 (Toronto Centre-Rosedale), she oversaw many important city building projects such as the revitalization of Regent Park, including the recently opened aquatic centre and central park. She worked on improvements to the St. Lawrence Market Precinct and secured funding for the new North Market building.

Since 1999, she represented Toronto at the Board of Directors of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and also represented Toronto as an Executive member at United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), an international organization of local governments that advocates and shares best practices among municipalities.

Some of her most significant work at FCM was as a founding member of the Standing Committee on Increasing Women's Participation in Municipal Government. 

In 1997, she received an award from the Duke of Edinburgh for her work with inner city youth. In 2013, Pam received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal, in recognition of her decades of public service.
