We live in a strata adult community. There has been tension about bylaws and the neighbourhood became very divided over who owns the fences and who will paint them. I approached council and told them about the grant. I suggested if they bought paint I’d get people out to paint and provide a pizza party for the whole neighbourhood. The party would be for all neighbours whether they painted or not. Forty painters came out. We have 108 units in our community. That evening, with the grant money I supplied 28 pizzas, a large cake, sweet squares, and soda, water and iced tea. More than 80 attended the event and it brought the neighbours together.
