On March 14, 2018, I had the fantastic opportunity to attend, or well say we hosted, City of Edmonton’s Recover Project community engagement at our new Diversity Centre on 10510 107 Avenue. The conversation was engaging, passionate, and I must say it has made me reflect on my own journey from the major issue that came up in the conversation – space.
During my reflection, I could see what happens when you have the right space to express your creativity, showcase what you can do, promote yourself, express your talents, and get your project, product, or service out there.
On a personal note, after we launched Afro-Canadian Magazine Office (as it was called then) in 2013, it opened the door to effective community engagement, sharing great ideas, gaining more supporters, easier meetings setup, more frequent and useful connections and today we are in a 10,000 square feet in the new Diversity Centre on 10510 107 Avenue, Edmonton.
While the City is doing their thing, I will use this opportunity at our Diversity Open House to personally invite some of our bright, creative, futuristic minds, to start a conversation of how we can tap their creativity to help in tackling this space issue at a community or organizational level. I believe we can do something collectively for our own community and I want to make that first phone call for this purpose, use our influence and reach to support others who want to make a difference in their lives, community and make Edmonton better one project at a time. If one person, group, or organization, moves forward as a result of this effort, then it’s worth it.
If myself or my assistant, or anybody on my team happens not to call you, or email you, please consider this as a special invitation, and kindly extend it to family and friends that may find it worthwhile. Diversity Centre, Open House is this Saturday, March 17, 3 – 5 PM, at Diversity Centre on 10510 107 Avenue, in the fantastic City of Edmonton.
Diversity Centre is slowly becoming a destination of choice for events, board meetings, and office rentals. It’s not just beautiful, it’s refreshing, inspiring, affordable, close to LRT, bus lines, and has free parking, top up with professional accountant, lawyer, Immigration Consultant, non-profits serving the community and the endless traffic from Diversity Magazine and events being hosted. In the downtown core, you cannot ask for a more centralized location in Edmonton or a location that you can take advantage of its traffic. Drop in this Saturday March 17, 2018, from 3 -5 PM for Diversity Centre Open House at 10510 107 Av. Ribbon Rouge Foundation got creative with our space and stretched it in photo 1. City of Edmonton personalized it in photo 2, and Ethno Fashion modeled it in photo 3. What will you be doing when you rent our space. I can’t wait to see your spatial creativity at work…
