June 2015: 100 in 1 Day
To celebrate 100 in 1 Day, Riverwalk Wellness Centres hosted a coffee-house style open-mic (no-mic) event in Aurora, where several individuals from the community came together to share their music and poetry. A giant board full of positive messages and affirmations was created. This board will be kept on display in Riverwalk’s art gallery and will be an ongoing initiative where individuals can contribute positive messages at any time as they feel inspired.
