On June 7, the first citizen festival called 100 in 1 Day was hosted at SFU Woodward’s. The event focused on raising awareness of social issues through acts of social change and was intended to motivate various leaders to re-evaluate old problems and issues.
The event invited anyone interested to “come in with an idea or simply an open mind and a hunger for change. We’ll help you work that into an action plan and meet like minded people who might want to participate.”
