Meet your Neighbours
Are you too shy to meet your neighbours? Feel as though everyone is too busy? This initiative helps reduce the barriers to getting to know the people who live around you.
Great Neighbours is an initiative connecting neighbours on your rural or urban block. Remember a time when we used to know our neighbours? It doesn’t have to be a thing of the past. Great Neighbours is a grassroots initiative helping neighbours get to know one another better.
Are you too shy to meet your neighbours? Feel as though everyone is too busy? This initiative helps reduce the barriers to getting to know the people who live around you.
Block Connectors are being recruited across Red Deer, Red Deer County, Bowden, Delburne, Elnora and Penhold, to informally connect neighbours.
Would you like to spark a connection with your neighbours and within your community? Apply for the Spark Grant funded by the Red Deer & District FCSS.
Research tells us that when we know our neighbours, it helps us in many ways:
