The Coil Care Project, recently launched in February 2026, is an innovative initiative dedicated to bringing all things related to haircare to the heart of KW. The project is built on data from the Youth Impact Survey from The Children and Youth Planning Table to bring you events that include dinners, workshops, and written media.
The Project aims to be a middle point for hair braiders, barbers, trichologists/dermatologists, founders, and more to collaborate and bring haircare that's backed by community awareness and trust.
Lines & Links is a collaborative community series rooted in culture, education, and restorative care. Through partnerships with local educators, stylists, and creatives, the series explores scalp and curl health fundamentals, protective styling techniques, and knowledge on hair product/creation.
Participants are invited not only to learn, but to reflect, connect, and play.
At its core, Lines & Links honours play as an essential practice, creating space for joy, cultural pride, and self-sufficiency to flourish.
