For the past several months Strathcona BIA has been in the running for a $90,000 grant from the Aviva Community Fund to build 20-30 microgardens in Strathcona, part of Vancouver’s inner city. The grant winners are determined through an online voting contest. They’ve already made it through the first round,and now you can support them by voting for their idea 10 times (once per day) between December 2 and December 15 as they compete in the semi-final round against 29 other projects across Canada. AND THERE ARE PRIZES FOR YOU TOO!
They’re in the running, but we’d like to see them get a whole bunch of votes over the next week and a half leading up to the deadline.
If you’d like to help Strathcona and Vancouver, sign up here and they”ll send you an email a day with a reminder to vote, some pre-made Tweets for you to Retweet, and interesting links about how urban gardens are changing communities. Everyone on this list will also be entered to win great daily prizes! Sign up and you can win:
- A gift certificate from Boardroom Eco Apparel
- A box of gourmet chocolate from Saul Good Gift
- An etched glass water bottle from Eclipse Awards
- A gift certificate from Quench Designs
- Dinner for two at Pat’s Pub
