Your Community Food Store

Thursday, December 1, 2011


Momentum is currently building with the development of a local Food Co-op in the Queenston Street/ Downtown neighbourhood. Being able to access nutrious, wholesome, local food is difficult if not impossible for many residents living in this community. The Food Co-op is looking to meet those needs and wants to know what you think?


What do you look for when you choose a grocery store?

What types of foods do you prefer?

Would you be interested in becoming a member of a Food Co-op?

For more information on the Food Co-op check out their community blog.

Calling All Poets!

Friday, April 1, 2011

We are looking for a phrase or quote that will give focus and direction to our mural. Two themes that we want to work within are "New Beginnings/Fresh Starts" and "People helping People/Building Together." If anyone can come up with an inspiring phrase using these themes that would be very helpful. We want something that will provoke creativity and an image. Leave a comment with your ideas for a slogan, a slogan for the Queenston Street community to grab hold of!

It is official: we have a location committed to Hidden Tapestry. Burtnik Printing Inc. has agreed to donate their wall for the mural project. Thanks so much to Mike and Kathy for your generous support and your willingness to give back to the community in such a meaningful way. We look forward to working with you further and bringing new colour to the walls of Queenston.
