A new community project aimed at brightening up Cappoquin and celebrating local pride is set to take place next month.<\/p>\n
Volunteers, residents and community groups are being invited to take part in the initiative on June 6th from 9am, with work planned on the wall beside the school in Cappoquin.<\/p>\n
The project is being organised by local councillor Donnchadh Mulcahy, who says the aim is to showcase the strong community spirit within the town.<\/p>\n
The initiative will involve cleaning and painting the wall, along with installing signs representing local community groups and organisations.<\/p>\n
Part of the wall will also be dedicated to the West Waterford Mental Health Awareness Wall of Hope project to help promote positivity and mental health awareness in the area.<\/p>\n
Cllr. Mulcahy says he was inspired by a similar project he completed in Tallow a number of years ago.<\/p>\n
He says the previous initiative transformed the area and showed what could be achieved when communities come together and take pride in their town.<\/p>\n
Waterford City and County Council<\/a> is supplying paint for the project, while all work on the day will be carried out on a voluntary basis.<\/p>\n Cllr. Mulcahy is encouraging anybody who can spare a few hours to get involved and help make Cappoquin a brighter and more welcoming place.<\/p>\n For the latest Waterford News<\/a> and Sport<\/a>, tune into WLR News on the hour and download the WLR App for news on demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new community project aimed at brightening up Cappoquin and celebrating local pride is set to take place…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":702417,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[49,48,84,393,394],"class_list":["post-702416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mental-health","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-health","tag-mental-health","tag-mentalhealth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=702416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/702417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=702416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=702416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=702416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
