Halifax is hosting a large community festival on Saturday June 7 called 100in1day Halifax. This is a festival that asks Haligonians to create, host and/or take part in interventions (events) all over the city! It's descibes as a "citizen-driven festival that will unite people across the city to make Halifax a better place by creating acts of urban change".
One of my friends is currently volunteering for this festival and has been working on outreach for quite a while. They currently have 51 interventions happening on June 7, but the ultimate goal is to have 100 in one day (cue the 100 in 1 day name). Some interventions currently ont the list of events are First Lake Cleanup (hosted by my friends boyfriend) and Self-Love Selfies. These interventions can be anything, and it's a fun way to create a larger sense of community in the HRM.
If you live in the Halifax area and want to take part, have a peek at the list of Inteventions. You can even create your own and help contribute to reaching the goal of having 100 community events in one day! Also be sure to take a look at the video below for more information and be sure check out the 100in1day Halifax website, facebook page or blog.

This is the first time the festival is in Halifax, so if you live in the HRM I definitely suggest reading through the intervention page and taking part in some fun activites! It's happening tomorrow, June 7, and I know I'm definitely getting involved!
