Thanks to Wisdom Regeneration, supporting organizations and our dearest kai-fongs, the “Green Cadogan” Community Fiesta was successfully held last Sunday! With over 150 participants, our day was made perfect by brilliant sunshine and loads of laughters.

Gathered around the grassy lawn, old kai-fongs shared the less known stories that happened once upon a time in Kennedy Town.

Many participated in our green workshops, while others joined the Project Spaces to upcycle 3,000 bottle lids, all collected from the district, into an art piece.

A highlight of the day was the lion dance and martial art performance by the Kennedy Kung-Fu masters, who have lived in Kennedy Town for generations.

The event was concluded with Urban Diary’s screening on “Tales of Shui Hau”, where participants embraced the past and future of their neighbourhood while enjoying homemade refreshments.

What’s more, the “Green Cadogan” Community Edu-tainment Space is finally publicized for comments! The pilot scheme envisions revitalizing the vacant ex-market booths to establish a green, sustainable, shared open space that is curated “by the locals, for the locals”. We believed that the reactivation of the available land resources by locals not only echoes the government’s waste reduction policies, but could also alleviate the lack of community facilities in the district, and create a focal point that inherits the past and engage the community.

With the hope to incorporate community aspirations into the “Green Cadogan” proposal, our team will continue to organize engagement events to encourage wider public participation. We welcome everyone to voice out your opinion, hope to see you at our upcoming event!
