Dig your neighbourhood

Residents are being asked to offer comments, suggestions and critiques on the Mission area of Kelowna this weekend, as UBCO students present their showcase on the neighbourhoods past, present and future.

Dig Your Neighbourhood is an initiative created by Creative Writing and Visual Arts students at the university, as they unwrap a series of proposed projects to create a visual of the South Kelowna neighbourhood.

The event happens near the Capital News Center on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Local businesses and organizations are also invited to get information about sponsoring packages for newcomers to the area; a sneak peak can be found at the school’s FINA Gallery until Friday October 31, where the project proposals will also be on display.

Past projects have been created for the North End and Rutland, which include calendars, cards, board games, books of poetry, graphic novels, CDs and all kinds of fiction and one-of-a-kind guidebooks that are neighbourhood-specific. The earlier packages will be on display at the Mission branch of the Okanagan Regional Library, before the Capital News Centre event.

You can keep in touch with the project on Facebook’s Dig Your Neighbourhood page and follow on Twitter @DYN_Mission.
