10 Carden

• Sharing volunteers

  31Aug

  Mandy Wettlaufer, our Katimavik volunteer, is about to embark on an interesting volunteer experience.  In the next 5 months, she will be volunteering not only for 10 Carden, but also for some of our member organizations.  All 10 Carden members can ‘apply’ to share Mandy’s time, talent, and energy.  Working for a variety of organizations will expose Mandy to a wide range of social change models, groups, and ideas, while creating a conduit for communication and resource sharing between like-minded groups and businesses.  This model for sharing staff and volunteers allows organizations and social enterprises to collaborate more closely, network more efficiently, share resources, and avoid duplicating their efforts.  Contact us if you want to share Mandy!

• 10 Carden hub for Nuit Blanche!

  31Aug

  10 Carden is Guelph’s hub for Nuit Blanche, taking place Saturday, September 10th all-night long!  Come out for this magical dusk-to-dawn transformation of Guelph’s downtown into a community-wide artistic canvas, with exhibits, shows, and performances taking place in strange places, from rooftops and studios, to churches, parking lots and riverbanks.  10 Carden will be the Nuit Blanche information (and coffee!) hub, also displaying some of the exciting exhibits.  Start your night at 10 Carden with a hot drink and lively conversation before soaking in the rest of the exhibits all around town.  For the Nuit Blanche schedule: http://guelphjazzfestival.com/2011_season/day_by_day_schedule/nuit_blanche

• Summer Collaboration around Sun Protection

  31Aug

  

  Paint the Town Events captured a large crowd of folks interested in getting red streaks for Melanoma month.  Others stumbled into the tent looking for information around melanoma and sun protection.  This collaborative campaign is just one example of how working together makes a difference in people’s lives, and even saves lives.

• Paint the Town Red!

  03Aug

  How do we change attitudes and behaviours around sun protection?

  10 Carden is helping paint the town red, in collaboration with Streak for Cancer, Wellington-Duffering-Guelph Public Health, Melanoma Network of Canada, Downtown Guelph, and McNeil.

  On August 12th from 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM, St. George’s Square is Streaking for Cancer! The public can support the Melanoma Network of Canada and bring awareness to Melanoma and skin damage by getting a red streak for 10$ (proceeds go to Melanoma Network), as well as get their face painted as a sign of support.

  Then, on August 13th from 9:30-11:30 AM, 10 Carden will be hosting the second day of hair streaking with music, coffee & tea, and engaging short video clips to inform folks about skin cancer. Free suncreen will be available, and a representative from Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health will be on-site to answer questions folks may have.

  So come get your hair streaked, learn about Melanoma and skin damage in the process, and take part in a collaborative campaign around the issue!  All ages welcome!
