Symphony of Science

Hey there SLOWesters! I thought you might enjoy this!



There are more where these came from on the official Symphony of Science website.

Vibrant Garden Signs!

Check out this beautiful sign artfully painted by the Grow Slow Group, which is part of the Food and Community Gardens project group! In June, members of this group brought their carpentry and artistic skills together and hand painted some colourful signs for SLOWest's community gardens. I plan on visiting the gardens myself to see the signs in their new homes and to find out more about each one. Stay tuned to the blog for more garden stories!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Upcoming Events

Hello Everyone!

The sun is shining and I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful summer!

I have added a list of upcoming events on the blog. For specific locations and details, you can always find more information on the SLOWest website, or perhaps you are already receiving emails from your project group. I will not be posting home addresses on the blog in the interest of privacy. If you are interested in attending an event that is listed, please contact me at sustainablelivingottawawest[at]gmail.com. Looking forward to seeing you at some upcoming events! The first step to making change is to show up! Let's all show up for ourselves and our community!

Welcome to SLOWest's Communications Blog!

Welcome! In addition to our website and The SLOWest Times newsletter, this blog will be a place where I will be sharing my experiences as the Communications Coordinator for SLOWest. Join me here as I share my observations and experiences of being involved in this supportive community we call SLOWest. As I attend meetings and events and meet more of you, I will share photos and updates so that all can be informed!

What is your project group doing? Want to share it with the rest of SLOWest? Let's meet up at Bridgehead and we can chat about your current projects. By sharing more information through this blog my hope is that we will join more sustainably-minded individuals together in action and stay more informed about each others' great ideas and work in the community!

Having a meeting with your group? Putting on an event? Let me know and I'll help you get the word out. I'll also do my best to attend as many events and meetings as possible to not only meet all of you, but also take photos and report back via this blog so others can stay updated. I hope you're not camera shy because I'm looking forward to capturing your smiling faces!



The public blog forum on the website will still be operational and everyone is welcome to share anything, anytime. Feel free to comment on this blog below each post, and if you have any questions about navigating the blogosphere, please don't hesitate to email me at sustainablelivingottawawest@gmail.com.

Please bear with me as this blog evolves and becomes better with time. I look forward to keeping communication open, inspiring and frequent within SLOWest!
