Love my hood!

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking this post is just an excuse for me to show off my mad MC skills. There’s me, working the mic…AND holding a sausage! Seriously, look again. A little closer….  See? That’s only 1/3 of a sausage in my left hand! How very Kitchener of me.

But seriously, there’s another much more important reason for this post. You may have heard of the city of Kitchener’s new Neighbourhood Strategy. In a nutshell, it’s an effort on the part of the city to build stronger neighbourhoods, making for a stronger city overall.

I’m helping out a bit with the strategy because, well, I’m nerdy that way. And I love this town! So there I was last night at the Rockway Community Centre, talking to some folks before a great little jazz show on the patio. We enjoyed the music (even though it wasn’t country) and I encouraged people to fill out a survey to help us with this Neighbourhood Strategy. So here comes my shameless appeal.

I met lots of listeners last night (apparently y’all like jazz, too!) but if you weren’t one of the listeners I met…maybe you could still fill out a survey? You can do it online in about five minutes and it would be really helpful to our efforts. Here’s the link to fill out a survey of your very own.

And here’s a picture of me with Pauline, who I met last night! We can’t meet when you fill out an online survey but I still appreciate your time. 🙂  And, hey, if you’re at Soccerfest at Budd Park on Saturday morning, you can fill out a survey in person. And we can take a picture then. 🙂
