ChangeCamp London took place on Saturday June 19th, 2010 at Museum London and saw about 100 engaged citizens of London, Ontario come together to start talking and taking action on ways to improve the Forest City. As a means of investment in the city, the end of the day brought many actions to the table and participants brainstormed with one another how these items could evolve, take place and impact the communities they live within.

One of the action items that held the attention of many participants centred around the question “How do we create more community gathering places?“. Although PARK(ing) Day planning began prior to ChangeCamp taking place, it (PARK(ing) Day) is exactly the type of engaging action that ChangeCamp promotes as a way to make an noticeable impact in the community.

PARK(ing) Day, through the creation of temporary public spaces, expresses a concern towards the lack of community gathering places in the city of London. Participants of PARK(ing) Day (space creators, volunteers and sponsors) all are dedicated to ensuring that the future of London contains more community gathering spaces than it does now.

We are happy to have PARK(ing) Day London associated with ChangeCamp London as it represents just on type of citizen lead action and change that London needs.
