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.
My Point of View
Love this. Structured team programming for kids leadership, confidence, teamwork, and other great aspects of minor sports but with STEAM learning as the sport!

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.
