Raconteurs presents "NEIGHBOURHOODS" - June 17th, 2015

This month we're sharing stories of NEIGHBOURHOODS!

What makes your neighbourhood unique? How does the shape and character of your neighbourhood influence how you live? We want your stories of the places you live, and the neighbours you live amongst! Did your neighbourhood change when a chain store move in? Did you feud with a neighbour over building a fence? Band together with your community to get a playground cleaned up? Have you lived in the same neighbourhood for 20 years and witnessed change or moved to a new neighbourhood and changed yourself? This event will explore the dialogue between people and the places they live in.

This month we're pairing with Planners in Public Spaces, and initiative to better engage the public in matters of city planning. You might not think that the width of sidewalks or the direction of one-way streets can change the way a neighbourhood functions -- but it can! We'll be learning a bit about how the public can get involved in the Toronto City Planning department and hearing some amazing stories as well!

We want your story! Raconteurs' stories should be true, have happened to you personally, and be 7-10 minutes in length.
Past stories can be viewed online at www.youtube.ca/raconteurstoronto

If you have a story to share, please send a brief 3-4 sentence pitch to submissions@raconteurs.ca. Story coaching is available if desired!

The Tranzac features main-floor washrooms and is barrier-free.
Parking is available on street.

Doors at 6:30/ show at 7:30
