#YYJCommunities

2024-09-15

The vibrant & diverse #FernwoodCommunity is one of my fave local communities & has been for decades. I attended elementary & jr high schools in Fernwood area during the 80s. I love all the public art, all around this community - there's art to be seen on almost every block. Many little free libraries in Fernwood too. There's also a public community garden at the community center on Gladstone. It is one of the most welcoming communities on South Vancouver Island with a very diverse #BIPOC & #LGBTQ2S population. Many POC families live in this community, including new migrants. Fernwood Square is a multi-use site with many past/present/future free community events & longtime gathering spot for local activists.
