The interplay of light, art, and technology.
2019 Lumen Festival
Lumen is an annual festival that features the work of artists as they explore the interplay of light, art, and technology. Amongst many community partners, we wanted to help showcase this type of creative work in Waterloo Region for the 2019 festival.
Installations feature the work of artists using a number of different mediums, and incorporate technology platforms to explore the exchange between technology and creativity. Lumen’s aim is to celebrate the wonderful public spaces in UpTown Waterloo, and to animate these spaces in a way that invites people to explore the city through a new lens.
Donating critical masks to frontline workers
HIP Developments and partners donated 5,000 N95 masks to the Cambridge Memorial Hospital
We all have a responsibility to contribute to changing the rate of COVID-19’s spread. Focusing on the fundamentals, HIP Developments donated 5,000 N95 masks to the Cambridge Memorial Hospital this week. Given their name because of their capability to filter 95% of airborne particles, these masks save lives, and are critical garments for those on the frontlines, whose service and sacrifice we can’t express enough thanks for.

My Point of View
Happy we can help out and make life a little easier for the frontline workers and their families. After very long and important days the last thing they need to do is grocery shopping and meal preparation. Hopefully this support helps them find some down time with their families in between the amazing work they are doing caring for those in need. If you know a local hero - nominate them and we’ll make sure their fridge is full with easy reheat meals and beverages. Nominations can be sent by email to christina@theeventfirm.ca You can add a donation at checkout to help keep this program going.

Tapestry Hall's heat-and-eat delivery service
Tapestry Hall's heat-and-eat meal delivery service
Our community shouldn’t be losing sleep over fear of failing to put food on the table for their families, but this is a reality in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s why we are launching a Food & Beverage Delivery program at Tapestry Hall: a chef-prepared, low-cost, healthy food and beverage delivery service, created to assist families, single parents, seniors, and anyone else struggling with safe grocery accessibility. The initiative is complete with easy online ordering and free, no-contact delivery. We offer large portions that can be easily reheated, a smarter and more economical solution than the common expensive, single-serve delivery options currently available. Beer and wine are also available for delivery, at prices the same as the Beer Store and the LCBO. To give back to the community, donation options to the Cambridge Self-Help Food Bank and the Food Bank of Waterloo Region are available directly on our ordering platform. To top it off, we are donating 1,500 Big Life Journals for free to those who order kid-related menu items! This journal, valued at $20, is an asset to at-home activities and growth, assisting young people in the Creative Capital of Canada.
