We will have many arts supplies available to help you create whatever you like. Paper mache, fabrics, paints, and assorted odds and ends will come to life. Make a costume to wear, or attach to a bike or stroller, or create a more elaborate float. It’s all free, just contact us by email or phone to register. *This is a 5 hour workshop, so we understand if you can only come for some of it.

There is another costume workshop Friday April 13, 12-3:30pm at the Button Factory.

Here is another video of last year’s Procession in Olympia, Washington for inspiration.

Corporate Profile

Name of Organization: Radio Waterloo Inc.
Address: 142 Waterloo St. Waterloo
Purpose: to Provide Education and Training in the Communication Arts

Date of Incorporation: January 20, 1978

Origin of Operations: Radio Waterloo evolved from the Broadcasting Club / Broadcasting Association at the University of Waterloo which was operating in the early to mid 1960’s.

Board of Directors: By the organizations By-Laws The board of directors has 4 Official Executive Officers: President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Corporate Secretary. The board is composed of 7 directors including the 4 Executive Officers. In 2008 the Corporation opted for a means based working/administrative board to take over prior responsibilities of the staff including SoundFM’s general manager. The measure implemented via committees that are in time to be administered by the membership rather than board members; however, the each board member is tasked with oversight and facilitation of each specific operating committee. Once committees are in place by general members the board would revert to its Carver model Traditional Policy Governance Board operation model. Specific to our operation of a radio station facilitating for a general manager for the station would be a requirement before the Carver Model resumption.
