2026 Highlights
Q1 Highlights
January - March
JANUARY
January was a month of preparation and transparency for the 20th Ward as we focused on setting the foundation for the year ahead. In partnership with Chicago Public Schools, the Ward hosted a public meeting to provide residents with information on redevelopment proposals for the former Fiske and Parkman school sites, along with details on upcoming bid opportunities.
As we begin 2026, the Ward office is actively planning events, initiatives, and engagement opportunities for the year. Our focus remains on keeping residents informed, involved, and prepared as we move forward together.
FEBRUARY
February brought residents together for connection, fun, and community engagement in the 20th Ward. The Ward hosted a Valentine’s Senior Bingo event where seniors enjoyed an afternoon of games, good food, resources, and giveaways. The event created an opportunity for residents to gather, connect with one another, and access helpful information while celebrating the season.
The Ward office continues working to create welcoming spaces where residents can stay informed, build community, and engage with resources that support their everyday needs.
MARCH
March brought residents together for empowerment, connection, and meaningful conversation in the 20th Ward. The Ward proudly hosted its first Girls’ and Women’s Conference, creating a space for women and girls of all ages to come together, learn, and be inspired.
The conference featured engaging discussions, powerful speakers, and valuable resources focused on health, wellness, personal growth, and community support. Attendees had the opportunity to connect with one another, hear from impactful voices, and take away information that supports their everyday lives.
