The Corner Brook Youth Advisory Committee, in partnership with the City of Corner Brook, invites residents to join them in spreading positivity and kindness during the month of July. The CBYAC has launched “Signs Of Hope” with funding from TakingITGlobal, the Government of Canada, and Canada Service Corps. TakingITGlobal supports youth who are inspired with ideas and ready to take action through their youth-led community service grants. To mark the launch of this campaign, the CBYAC has put together an online contest for residents.

Between July 10 – July 26 people are encouraged to find five different Signs of Hope which are posted around the City. Take a photo or a selfie with one of the signs and post it to Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #CBKindness. If you would like, feel free to include your own message of hope in the caption. Participants will be entered for a draw to win one of the four $25 gift cards to local businesses Brewed Awakening, Harbour Grounds, Birch and Berries and Best Coast Cafe.

Thank you to community partners Western Health, SpeedPro and the City of Corner Brook for their support with this initiative.
