If you have some brochures and/or coupons , please get them to me at the Train Station and I will be sure to present them along with other Sussex information.

Celebrate Community

The 2^nd Annual community fair is being organized by the Community Inclusion Project. C.O.O.L. (Community Offering Opportunity for Life) and Jamaica/Canada (Jam/Cam) Youth Exchange program. This will be held on Saturday, October 28, 2000 at the Sussex Community Centre in Princess Louise Park from 12pm - 5 PM. The main reason for having this event is to bring all members of the community together, including those who are often marginalized, such as seniors and people with intellectual and physical disabilities. It is hoped that the fair will build community spirit via the inclusion of everyone, regardless of any differences in age or ability.

The fair will be fun for community people of all ages, with a lot of activities and displays. Jamaican food, dance and music will be presented as well as games and activities. It will be a high energy day with colorful and creative booths. This is an excellent opportunity for your group/organization to raise awareness as well as funds. A small fee of five dollars per booth is required to cover our cost. Any profits from booth fees and entrance fees will be donated to Crosswinds (for activities for people with disabilities) and C.O.O.L. (To help develop youth centre). Any fund-raising revenue from the booths will be kept by the sponsoring organization. Some suggestions for booth include: bake sale, silent auction, magic demonstrations, games of chance and skill, pony rides- use your imagination! If you require more ideas, give us a call.

The bags would carry our Train Station logo and say "Shop Downtown Sussex".
