Meet your Neighbour Program

June 24, 2022

Strong neighbourhoods are important to the health and well-being of our town. When

neighbourhoods thrive, the people who live there thrive too. This has been well demonstrated

through the flood of 2022 which has in some cases caused extensive damage to

neighbourhoods and tremendous hardship for those residents. Despite the impact on individual

livelihood, neighbours have come together to support each other and along the way strengthen

relationships.

To recognize the demonstrated generosity and further develop the bonds that will support each

other through the extended flood recovery period, it is recommended that the Town implement a

Meet Your Neighbour Program this summer. Through the program, the Town would provide

access to a Town owned BBQ and tables and chairs. A food voucher would be included to

cover a portion of food expenses. Any neighbourhood could apply to the program through the

summer. Events would be in compliance with municipal bylaws.
