About Strong Neighbourhoods
About Strong Neighbourhoods
Strong neighbourhoods play a vital role in our residents’ daily lives by making a positive impact on their wellbeing, contributing to economic development and helping residents feel a sense of attachment to our city.
The goal of our Strong Neighbourhoods program is to increase residents’ level of attachment to the community by being a catalyst in inspiring neighbourhoods to foster a culture of connection and engagement. Connection and engagement are two sides of the same coin and it’s only through strong relationships that we can work together to make our neighbourhoods better places to live, work and play.
Ways to get neighbourly:
The Strong Neighbourhoods event is a great way to gather neighbours and turn them into friends. It encourages neighbours to get together and build relationships with each other. We are no longer strangers. - Julie, Kelowna Resident
