Welcome to East City's Project H. We believe in our community and its potential to become the healthiest, happiest and most harmonious place on earth by 2030.
Canada was ranked the #1 Country in the World for Quality of Life in 2020 for the 5th year in a row. Peterborough once held the #1 spot for fastest growing community in Canada. East City is undoubtedly the best area in the city to live. We have a pretty decent head start, wouldn’t you say?
Project H is really just a series of pop-up ideas, events and initiatives that mean to better our world.
The work that you, the team and the volunteers will be undertaking will be important for our small community on the local level. Importantly, the model could scale well for larger communities seeking to incorporate policies and practices that support health, happiness and harmony.
-Dr. Mak Arvin, Economics Professor at Trent University and former Editor of the International Journal of Happiness and Development, regarding Project H
SOME OF OUR PAST PROJECTS…
December 16th 6pm - 7pm for a Whovile-inspired happy Christmas tree challenge!
Join us at 155 Hunter Street East, on the corner of Hunter and Rogers Street for this one-hour pop-up event inspired by the Grinch.
Bring or make a Christmas decoration and swap it out on our Happy Tree for your Kelcey’s Nutrition Centre treat and a challenge to be performed within our East City community. Crafts are brought to you by Katie Legere of free2be Yoga and Soap.
Enjoy a cup of hot cocoa brought to you by our East City neighbour Kathryn Matheson Nutrition.
Our finale will be at 6:45pm when we’ll gather around the Christmas tree to recreate the Whoville song we all know and love. You don’t need to know the words, but let’s be ridiculous and do the song, we must. It’s just good for the soul.
