This was our first ever Meet your Neighbours Summer Event BBQ for our strata complex. Our goal was to foster neighbourhood connections, create a sense of community and enhance safety and awareness in our townhouse complex. We had over 100 residents (including adults and kids) attend the event. During the BBQ, we reminded everyone to regularly check their emails communicated by our strata, keep updated on Parc Belverdere strata rules and regulations, look out for any suspicious activities, get to know your neighbours, and take an active role in order to make our community a better place to live. The summer event was a huge success and an enjoyable time was had by all!
The summer event was scheduled from 11:30AM to 1:30 PM, and many residents eagerly showed up early to sign in and attend. Everyone was happy to finally have an opportunity to gather and meet their neighbours in the clubhouse. Residents took the time to chat and get to know each other better while kids enjoyed playing with other children during the BBQ. Many residents commented on the importance of having such a gathering and they recommended that we make this as annual event. Many people also commended the current strata council for their accomplishments over past four years in areas such as enforcing safety, maintaining the property and helping to connect people in our neighbourhood. Through the summer event, we were able to get to know our neighbors and foster a greater sense of community. These were some of the benefits seen during and after the event. The summer BBQ definitely helped to connect neighbors as it gave them an opportunity to socialize and get to know each other better. It was a great way to encourage resident communication and participation within our Parc Belvedere community.
Our summer event at Parc Belvedere was a huge success and it accomplished all the goals that were set out by the program. Thank you for Richmond Cares Richmond Gives and Neighbourhood Small Grant Richmond, which helped to make the first ever meet and greet possible. The application process was very straight forward, and the communication was prompt and clear.
