BONFIRE

I’m looking for people who are tired of hearing there’s nothing to do here.

I’m trying to start something for young people in Fort Frances — free, open to everyone, run by the people who show up. I don’t have a building yet. I don’t have a schedule. I’m not even incorporated yet. I have an idea, a plan, and a stack of ideas. What I need is you.

Two ways to help

Future board members — 18+. Once this becomes a real organization, it’ll need people to govern it: roughly a meeting a month, plus a few hours between. Help me set it up right from the start.

The founding crew — any age, no commitment. Ideas, volunteering, a room, a truck, a skill — whatever you’ve got. This is where the plan actually gets built.

Being straight with you

  • I don’t have a space yet, and I haven’t committed to a schedule.
  • This isn’t incorporated yet — that’s one of the first things a founding board would help with.
  • Once it is, directors will need to be 18+ and can’t be paid — that’s Ontario law.
  • It’ll be real responsibility, not a figurehead role.

What would help

Finance or bookkeeping, fundraising or sales, youth work or teaching, trades or facilities, communications, legal or governance experience, a room on a weeknight, a truck, or just two hours a month and a willingness to figure this out together.

Count me in

Tell me who you are and what you'd bring.

Five questions. "I don't know yet" and "nothing at all" are both fine answers — I'd still rather hear from you.
