Next Wave wants to preserve and amplify stories of Merri-bek’s arts and culture scene.

We made a submission to Merri-bek’s Community Budget Ideas 2025-26 to create Ripple Effects—a project that will locals together to share intergenerational stories and memories of Brunswick Mechanics Institute’s past to help to shape our collective future.

Locals can help bring this project to life by voting for it on Conversations Merri-bek. Your votes decide which initiatives will be considered as part of the 2025-26 budget process.

Thanks to everyone who has already shown their support!
