The CGOW.ca/fe will be running on Sunday mornings in June, at Voyageur Park from 9:30 – noon.
The CGOW.ca/fe will be starting out in June with a pilot project on Sunday mornings between 9:30 and noon, beginning with the Voyageur Park location. There will be a coffee bike cart (with yours truly playing barista) that will be serving freshly brewed coffee and treats at an affordable price, with all proceeds going to help fund and grow more community events for all of us.
The first location will be situated right near the playground so feel free to come out and bring the kids to enjoy summer weather and get to know more of your neighbours in a social setting. My family originally comes from the Netherlands and I was just over there for a family reunion, once again reminded of the great practice of “terrace-je” where everyone socializes outdoors when the sun’s out. We don’t have enough places to regularly meet up with friends and neighbours where we live, we’re hoping this can serve to help us gather and connect.
We will be sourcing all of our products as locally as possible, so come and check out the offerings and stay in touch through our Community Forum here and check out the events on our Facebook group and here on our website. Some preliminary considerations for our first Sunday cafe would be to bring along a chair or blanket to stay and chat longer and feel free to bring your own mug. You might even want to coordinate with some friends to enjoy Bike Sundays and wind up at Voyageur Park for a rewarding coffee and treat!
