Neighbour Day- June 15, 2019!

What is Neighbour Day?

The Town of Gibbons understands the importance of knowing your neighbours and feeling connected in the community. Neighbour Day is an opportunity for the residents of Gibbons to celebrate community connection by getting together with your neighbours and building relationships, all while having fun!

What can you do to celebrate Neighbourhood Day?

There are many ways for you to connect with your neighbours and celebrate the vibrancy of your community. Here are just a few suggestions:

• host a block party. Click this link to see the Block Party Package.
• host a neighbourhood picnic at a local park (Help us by taking the lead. Plan a community event in one of our great parks, more information below!)
• host a neighbourhood potluck or BBQ
• host a multi-family garage sale
• hold a street-wide water balloon fight
• host a playgroup or coffee group
• participate in a community clean-up project
• help your neighbour with their spring cleaning or gardening 
• or be creative in your own way to celebrate community connection

As part of Gibbons first annual Neighbour Day, we are looking for people to champion activities in the follow parks:
