What is one thing that would make our community better and why?
That’s the question we’re asking Winnipeggers at CNC’s new video booth – Express Yourself / Le Poèmaton – a collaborative project of Community News Commons and Alliance Française du Manitoba.
The booth records your answers which are then published on CNC.
Today’s response is from Victoria Inglis, who believes youth and art are the keys to improving life in Winnipeg:
Presently situated on the main floor of Millennium Library, CNC’s Express Yourself video booth will move around the city and province, providing the opportunity for citizens to have their say on a number of different topics Manitobans are talking about.
The questions will change as the booth makes its way to various neighbourhoods and communities.
Visitors to the video booth can also participate in Le Poèmaton, an initiative of Alliance Française du Manitoba, where the public are invited to read and record a poem in French, or in any other language, also to be published on CNC.
Samples of French language poems are available at the booth. One can also bring in another poem, or even recite an original composition.

Video booth at Millennium Library where visitors can answer this month’s CNC question or recite a poem provided by Alliance Francaise du Manitoba.
So, if you want to wax poetically, or to weigh in on one thing that would make our community better, go to Millennium Library and Express Yourself.
Check out Community News Commons in the days ahead to view the videos and to find out where the booth is headed next.
