Coral Springs City Commission. {City of Coral Springs}
From the Coral Springs City Commission:
Heading into spring, April is blossoming with city events and recognitions of national causes that aim to promote community togetherness, unity, and pride.
April is Autism Awareness Month. Recognizing the unique needs of this community, a Touch-A-Truck event will be held on Saturday, April 20, at 11 a.m. at Mullins Park (10150 NW 29th Street.) Persons with special needs or sensory issues can familiarize themselves with the various vehicles and equipment in our emergency response fleet. At the event, parents and caregivers of persons with cognitive deficits can register for the city’s special needs database. The database allows first responders to be aware of the unique needs of an individual during an emergency response.
In April, we also celebrate Earth Month. In Coral Springs, we are committed to ensuring a more sustainable future. All year long, not just in April, we encourage residents to Recycle Right and participate in our new Household Composting program. By participating in these sustainable programs, residents can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Household composting can be dropped off on Saturdays at the Waste Transfer Station from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Join us for Earthfest on Saturday, April 27, at the Sawgrass Nature Center (3000 Sportsplex Drive) from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The event features free nature exhibits, plant giveaways, and more.
We are fortunate to live in a community where the voices of our teenagers are heard through the Teen Political Forum (TPF). This annual event for high school-aged students is led by student government leaders in our city high schools and allows teens to ask questions of state, county, and local elected leaders. TPF is scheduled for Thursday, April 4, at 6:30 p.m. at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts. High schools who have the highest event attendance can win up to $1,000 with prizes.
Our city offers programming for residents of all ages throughout the year. The Mayor’s Chess Challenge takes place on Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Mullins Hall (10150 NW 29th Street). Other events this month include Open Play Chess on Wednesday, April 3, Juice Box Jam on Thursday, April 18, and free tours of the Museum of Coral Springs History on April 27. Information about all city events can be found at CoralSprings.gov/Events.
This month’s Commission Meetings will take place on Wednesday, April 3, and Wednesday, April 17, at 6:30 p.m. As always, the public is invited to attend. The meetings are aired on CityTV, Blue Stream Channels 25, 25.7, 725, and AT&T U-Verse channel 99.
