Community Association

Start Here

Here are some of the ways you can get involved with the Community Association. Of course, there’s lots you can do that doesn’t involve the association at all, and that’s OK too. Check out the various ways to connect, volunteer, and shape our neighbourhood below.

“Getting involved with our local community association (CA) is the most meaningful thing I think I’ve personally done in the last handful of years aside from having children. Even as an introvert, getting to know my neighbours and step out of my social bubble a little to meet the people who live around me has been incredibly rewarding, and we’re really just getting started.”

Rob Attrell, Outreach Committee

Join & Volunteer

To be a legally recognized voting member of the association, you need to register with us. Members can help plan and run events, and they have a massive stake in the direction the CA takes on initiatives, community engagement, and advocacy. When you join, you will also have the option to subscribe to our monthly newsletter!

If there is an event you’d like to run or just participate in, let us know and we can try to facilitate or spread the word to anyone in the area.

Start a Conversation

Chat with and get to know your neighbours on a variety of topics. While our Facebook group is our biggest platform, we’re experimenting with Discord and a dedicated web forum to allow better filtering, sorting, and productive community discussion away from social media algorithms.

Events & Community Initiatives

Events & Activities

The Association hosts a number of bigger events over the year, but we organize lots of smaller ones too! You can always attend without doing any work at all.

Photo & Video Archive

Submit locally taken photos from our neighbourhood! Sometimes, we solicit themes to spark some creativity when you’re out in the community.

Community Survey

Help us gauge interest in community events and share how you feel about the community, its present, and its future.

Looking to the Future

In September 2024 as part of our Annual General Meeting (AGM), we released a strategic plan for 2024-29. This includes an updated mission statement and vision for engaging with and working on behalf of the community to make the places we live better.
