First Consultation at Barney & Jude's

We managed our first consultation on 11 Feb from 7-8pm  at Barney & Jude's. It was conveniently scheduled after a bin meeting, so many of those lovely individuals were in attendance.  A special thank you to City Councilors David, Felicity, and Tom who helped get the word out beforehand and encourage participation throughout.  This flyer had been sent a week prior to all Sandyford residents to inform them of the meeting.  

Coffee, tea, and snacks were provided in an effort to make the atmosphere more casual and social.  Chip and Diane, who run Barney & Jude's, kept bringing out warm brownies for which our snacks were no match.  They were absolutely delicious, we should have taken a picture of them as well - ha! 

The consultation began with a 5 minute PowerPoint introduction about ourselves, our project, and our aims.  Afterwards we had a group discussion about ideas and themes for the exhibition.  We really appreciate all of the individuals who shared their contact information with us.  As of now, we hope to incorporate information gained from future interviews into the exhibit -- these contacts are a great help for achieving that goal.  We are still open to suggestions and will be researching for a few weeks, so feel free to comment or contact us.

On 13 Feb at 5pm the module is meeting to go over what was discussed during the consultation.
