Community Fair Fest
Climate Recentered seeks to celebrate and uplift community through our Community Fair Fest series. Starting on May 27th at Guildford Park Secondary, this series aims to build local climate resilience to address growing climate emergencies, food security challenges, and precarity through mutual aid, solidarity, and community organizing that builds on the strengths, experience, skills, and resilience of racialized migrant communities.
The Community Fair Fest will be a family-friendly community celebration with performances and art from BIPOC artists, games and activities, free/affordable clothing, free food, stalls for local food entrepreneurs, space for community dialogues and organizing and access to booths for community services and organizations.
Community Partners
To make this happen, we will be working with the City of Surrey, the Surrey school district, non-profit organizations and Solid State for supplies and rental equipment such as heaters, tents, tables, and chairs. We are hoping to use both outdoor areas (parking lots) and inside spaces (classrooms and gyms) and existing furniture and supplies to minimize infrastructure costs. There will also be volunteers to help with set-up, takedowns, clean-ups, and community safety.
This first market will build a supply of infrastructure, equipment, skills, and experiences to be able to do these markets over and over again at different schools and communities throughout the year.
