Community Engagement for the Civic Redevelopment Strategy.
Project History: The Civic Common Redevelopment Strategy builds on the community’s input from the 2018 Civic Commons Master Plan. Now in the research and planning phase, this long-term strategy will require City Council approval to seek funding for phases of design and construction.
The Civic Common Redevelopment Strategy will consider adding new buildings, upgrading existing ones and enhancing public spaces like streets, sidewalks and parks. The goal is to improve the overall livability, value and functionality of the area for both residents and visitors. The strategy will also explore options to include a Performing Arts Centre into the Civic Common that aligns with the City’s vision. A phasing and implementation plan will prioritize which projects could begin first, and how to fund them.

En s'infiltrant dans l'esprit d'une jeune enfant qui se cloître au coeur de la solitude ou qui s’envole vers le cosmos, qui se camoufle derrière les meubles ou s’éclipse sous les ailes d’un ange, on découvre les idées noires enfouées dans les entrailles d'une enfant beaucoup trop jeune pour comprendre les mystères de la vie. L'auteure saura garder votre attention jusqu'au dernier mot . . . et peut-être même au-delà! Ce livre est dédié à Robin Williams, qui déclara un jour dans son film What Dreams May Come : " I still exist! "
Jaworowski's French-written Akkad et Xai, published through FriesenPress, is a fiction novel that explores the journey between two interconnected characters, Akkad, a guardian angel and Xai, an old soul living in a much younger body. Their journey, and at times conflicting relationship, represents a larger narrative that highlights the real and serious issue of child suicide. This cautionary tale to parents, educators and health care workers, is as touching as it is entertaining. It highlights the crucial importance of being connected and listening to children. Danielle Jaworowski is a retired teacher and currently works in independent film. Now, for the first time, she has told a story using the written word. Published in 2014. It is written in French.
