Neighbours Helping Neighbours
The Neighbours Helping Neighbours program is a neighbourhood engagement strategy designed to address neighbourhood conditions brought forward by the residents in an identified area of Leamington, ON. Local residents will be engaged in activities to better understand their surroundings by examining the history of the area, appreciating its assets, and providing leadership training to develop strong civic leaders.
Small seed grants will be awarded to the best community improvement ideas, allowing resident to strengthen their community themselves in a measureable, hands-on, and home-grown way. The first seed grant was awarded to a resident committee called 'Friends of Eastside Leamington'. This committee partnered with the Municipality of Leamington and proposed park improvements to Eastside Park. On Monday April 23rd the seed grant cheque was presented to Leamington Town Council in order to begin the park improvements.
Throughout the year, the Neighbours Helping Neighbours program partners with community organizations and service clubs to hose community-based events at Eastside Park. The purpose of these community events is to bring the community together, connect with neighbours, and celebrate the neighbourhood.
