My Entry for the Royal Le Page Great Neighbourhoods Contest

Do you have suggestions to improve our local neighbourhoods? Tell us about where you live and why you like it!

Neighbours communicate with regular get togethers, playdates, conversations, e-mails, community meetings and at local events such as garage sales, parks, community parties, local restaurants, school functions and more.

Neighbours know what resources are available to them through communication with local community groups, local government and other organizations (daycares, recreation centres, libraries etc). Neighbours are advocates to ensure adequate resources exist and they make a point of sharing what is available in their neighbourhoods.

Local government and neighbours promote and participate in active lifestyles and protect the outdoor environments that provide these opportunities.

Neighbourhood members work to have greater access to trails, open spaces and other active living resources.

Fun neighbourhoods celebrate diversities and artistic pursuits.
