BURLINGTON, ON
Saturday is Burlington’s 100In1Day.
Those planning the event are hoping that 100 interventions take place in the city.
What is an intervention – it can be whatever you want it to be – the idea is to do something that will make the city a better place.
Interventions are simple, often low-cost community projects or actions that are free, open to anyone, and designed to create positive change, like pop-up parking space parties, plant swaps and seed giveaways, alleyway concerts, community art creation and neighbourhood potlucks.
A list of the interventions that are planned can be found HERE.
Interventions like these take place all on one day, in a series of city-wide 100in1Day celebrations that demonstrate the collective power of small actions.
The Millennials are holding a number of meetings where people can toss around some ideas and collaborate with other people.
You can participate in a series of community workshops designed to inspire new urban intervention leaders through active, inclusive, and engaging dialogue and activity. People of all ages, backgrounds and locations across the city are invited to attend workshops to develop their 100In1Day interventions – from idea to execution.
Imagine the possibilities for our city if hundreds of people united to participate in small initiatives to spark change. 100in1Day Burlington is part of a growing global movement that is changing how people interact with their cities.

It will be interesting to see how the city gets transformed on Saturday.
