Grant Criteria

The Neighbourhood Grant Program is a (up to) $500 grant to help residents activate community resources in their neighbourhood for the benefit of everyone.

Possible projects might include but are not limited to:

• Connect and engage neighbours. Example: block parties, walking groups, neighbourhood libraries, or volunteering
• Share neighbours’ skills and knowledge within the community: Example: a free yoga lesson for the community or community kitchen where participants exchange their cooking skills and share a meal together.
• Enhance community aesthetics/beauty/art.: Example: fence line mural or a community clean-up event.
• Respect and celebrate diversity: Example: multicultural potluck, a story telling project that involves seniors and youth, sharing of indigenous knowledge.
• Community safety: Example Neighbourhood Watch, or presentations related to neighbourhood crime prevention.
