Pinole highlights Black History Month events, high-school Jubilee, park reopening and Measure I engagement
Summary
The city promoted Black History Month observances including a Feb. 15 Jubilee at Pinole Valley High School, a Feb. 22 grand reopening of the Pinole Valley Park East soccer field, and asked residents to weigh in on Measure I spending via an online survey and a later workshop.
Cameron Cai, speaking for the city, outlined several upcoming community events and ways for residents to participate in Measure I spending decisions.
Cai said February marks the start of Black History Month and encouraged residents to reflect on contributions and the ongoing pursuit of equity. "It’s a time to honor the profound contributions of Black Americans to a nation's history, culture and progress," Cai said.
Cai announced the Pinole Valley High School African-American Student Union will celebrate Black History Month with a commemorative Jubilee on Feb. 15; tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door and can be purchased from the school cashier.
The city also said, with support from a donation by the West Contra Costa Youth Soccer League and in partnership with Pinole City, the Pinole Valley Park East soccer field has been renovated and will host a grand reopening celebration on Saturday, Feb. 22 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. with family-friendly activities.
On local spending priorities, Cai invited residents to share their ideas for projects funded by Measure I via an online survey referred to in the announcement as "P speaks.com" and said an in-person Measure I workshop will be held later this month for additional input. No specific dates or a detailed agenda for the workshop were provided.
Cai closed by urging residents to follow the city on social media, the city website and PCTV for updates.
