Bobcaygeon 2000

Bobcaygeon 2000: Bobcaygeon, Ontario leads the country as the first community to wholeheartedly respond to the Millennium Challenge, issued April 6, 1997 - the first day of the 1000-day countdown to the year 2000. The challenge: "to create ideas and projects that will bring Canadians together to promote hope, goodwill and unity"

At the April 21, 1997 Municipal Council Meeting, Team Bobcaygeon kicked off their mission to encourage individual initiative and to improve the daily lives of the citizens of Bobcaygeon and the surrounding areas. Projects will be self-funding; the municipal government will not be asked to finance this venture.

Bobcaygeon challenges communities - large and small - across Canada to join our village of 2500 people in taking an active role in creating the future!

Kingston, Ontario

Kingston 2000: First Night is a community-oriented, non-alcohol New Year's Eve celebration of the arts. It was founded in Boston in 1976, initiated by a group of civic-minded artists as an alternative form of community ritual to bring that city's neighbourhoods together to welcome the New Year. Boston's experience inspired cities across North America to start their own celebrations. First Night is a modern recreation of ancient traditions of mid-winter celebrations, and as it spreads across North America it seems to be serving a unique role in a culture "starved for ritual".

First Night now spans 35 states with 146 American cities involved, and in Canada, four provinces with 15 Canadian cities. Edmonton, Alberta has the distinction of being one of the biggest First Night celebrations in all of North America!

Admission to First Night events is by purchase of a button, set at a modest cost, usually under ten dollars. The design of the buttons is an artistic endeavour in itself, providing an opportunity to showcase a local artist. Buttons are sold throughout the community leading up to and including New Year's Eve
