It was a great afternoon. About 40 neighbours gathering on the lawns and driveways of a couple of neighbours from 3-6pm. We all brought finger food to share, there was live music and games. There was a group of about 4 people who planned the event and the families where we set up the party were a huge help on the day. Everyone pitched in with setting up and putting away. The goal was to get to know our neighbours more and also to expand the Block Watch network so had RCMP Block Watch volunteers on site to talk to neighbours. One of the games we played was a neighbourhood bingo with everyone only being allowed to put a neighbour’s name down once on the sheet which meant everyone had to talk to everyone and it was great to see so many getting into it. For those who filled out the sheet there was a draw for a prize.

Thank you very much for the grant and the opportunity to host the largest party we have had in our neighbourhood. People are already looking forward to the next block party!
