As a part of my Ffity-Two Weeks year long project I decided that for last week's project I would put forth an honest effort to get the community involved in my project.  By getting the community to answer couple of questions (by using Twitter, Facebook and the Fifty-Two Weeks site) I hoped that "crowd sourcing" the answers would help me with the project. The questions I asked of the community were as follows:

How can we improve London, Ontario?

And/or

How do we save London?

Although these questions are approaching the same underlying theme I wanted to make sure I got a variety of responses so I attempted to reach out to both the optimists and pessimists in the city.

I collected the answers, condensed them, added some of my own and printed them out and I took to the streets and posted "100 Ways to Improve London, Ontario" in the downtown core.  I had wanted to also hit up East London, however, apparently using a manual staple gun 600+ times will hurt your hand, so I am sad to say that I never made it into the East London Village (next time I will start there).

I have uploaded the results to my Flickr account and have posted even more details about the project HERE and you can get some free downloads HERE.

I really enjoyed this actually. I've seen a number of the signs up around town. I don't agree with all of them, but that's kind of the point isn't it? It gets you thinking.
