We want our 100in1Day projects to temporarily improve a public space in Edmonton and demonstrate how a community might achieve more lasting positive change. It may be led by an individual, community-based group, or an organization.

Projects can be practical, like planting trees or pop-up street furniture. They can be social, like hosting a block party. They can be artistic, like flash mobs or yarn bombing. They can challenge us or fix a problem. They can be as big or small as you want. All projects must be safe, legal and inclusive.

Examples of placemaking include:

Art installations or street art

Public performances or storytelling

Planting community gardens or cleaning up a park

Screening films outdoors

Hosting a community potluck or BBQ

Playing games such as soccer, jump rope or hopscotch

Setting up a free lemonade stand and talking to passersby
