Community Associations

Community Associations are where neighbours work cooperatively to make their neighbourhood a better, more inclusive place to live. The members of your Community Association want you to feel safe and love where you live. Their volunteers are dedicated to making your community a great place to live, work and play. 

They respond to residents' needs, supporting them to strengthen connections and work towards common goals, as well as: 

• advocate for the community with a unified voice
• plan social events, kids' activities, community clean-ups and beautification programs, and safety initiatives
• monitor development and provide input
• raise funds for parks, amenities, infrastructure
• provide information to residents through a newsletter, website or social media page

We recognize that the Community Associations are quite often the face of their neighbourhood. If a Community Association exists in your neighbourhood and you are interested in joining, use the contact information below and feel free to connect with other Community Associations to see what they're doing. 

Some neighbourhoods have community associations that help with local information, events and support.
