8 80 Cities' Ontario Community Changemakers is a microgrant and leadership program, intended to help spark new ideas and invigorate change in local communities. I was gratefully selected as a 2024-2025 Changemaker, allowing me to continue bringing people together in Waterloo Park through microparades. 

Inspired by the open-air karaoke I saw in Mauerpark in Berlin years before, I decided to challenge myself and complement the microparades with a dynamic afternoon of karaoke in the park. The event was attended by all ages, with more than one fantastic rendition of the infamous "Baby Shark."

This event would not have been possible without the support from 8 80 Cities and the Balsam Foundation.
