We will unveil the new campaign and hear the heart of children in this neighborhood. The More the Merrier….we are meeting Thursday April 7th at 2pm on 118 Ave and 90 Street. Please spread the word!!!! Coffee on us after the celebration at the Carrot.
Please note the brief notes below:
- We Believe in 118 is a community coalition working to reclaim Alberta Avenue as a drug paraphernalia and weapons-free zone.
- We Believe in 118 is about reclamation – it’s about drawing a line around the 118 Ave communities and making Alberta Avenue a drug paraphernalia and weapons-free zone.
- With only one predatory retailer remaining, the community is on the verge of being free from the sale of weapons and drug paraphernalia.
- We Believe in 118 partnered with Edmonton Public School’s City Centre Education Partnership (CCEP) to launch an awareness campaign.
- The campaign, which uses letters from grade 4, 5, and 6 children from the CCEP schools, speaks to the impact of predatory retail and the benefits of working together towards a safer community.
- The aim of the campaign is to reclaim Alberta Avenue as a drug paraphernalia and weapons-free zone, bring community together and celebrate the accomplishments to-date.
Yours Neighbourhood Builder,
