On September 19th, Paul Latour and HeroWork will work his magic to make our community a better place to live by encouraging community involvement.
In June of this year, HeroWork took on the task of renovating a recently gifted apartment building that Threshold Housing will use to house youth at-risk of becoming homeless. The renovation process is “radical” in that Paul uses vast community resources, volunteers, local trades and professionals to engage in a very intense renovation of the property in less than two weeks (3 weekends). The property will be put up to code, furnished and made user-ready. Paul calls the process a modern version of barn-raising.
His goal is not just to help homeless youth, but give community members – you and I – the opportunity to get involved in a grassroots project that makes a vital contribution to fellow citizens.
If you haven’t already, please go to HeroWork and choose how you wish to support this fantastic project. Here are the dates to get involved and make a difference:
Weekend #1 – Convoy of Heroes & Block Party Sept 19 Weekend #1 – Reno Sat Sept 20th and Sunday Sept 21th Weekend #2 – Reno Sat Sept 27th and Sunday Sept 28th Weekend #3 – Reno Sat Oct 4 & the BIG REVEAL is on Sun Oct 5th
Stay tuned for media coverage of the convoy to take place September 19th through the streets of Victoria.
Many thanks to the many supporters and trades people who have given of their time and expertise to help homeless youth.
