Community Programming brings people together by fostering connection, creativity, and community pride.
From seasonal celebrations to pop-up activities, these programs are designed to be fun, inclusive, and responsive to the unique character of each neighbourhood.
In collaboration with local partners, Community Programming empowers residents to build stronger, safer, and more vibrant communities.
Together, weβre creating a city of connected communities β one neighbourhood at a time.
