Now in its 11th year, Neighbour Day is an opportunity for Calgarians to celebrate our community spirit and kindness.

Neighbour Day started in June 2014 to recognize the incredible outpouring of support and generosity of neighbours following the 2013 floods. Held each year on the third Saturday in June, Neighbour Day is a step toward creating welcoming and inclusive communities where neighbours connect and belong every day of the year.

Here are some ideas:

• Organize a block party (permits are free) or backyard BBQ with your neighbours

• Organize a neighbourhood sports activity or picnic in the park

• Organize a small community clean-up using the City of Calgary’s TLC Kits

• Lend a helping hand to a neighbour

• Complete a My Neighbour card as part of creating a safe and caring community

• Or another idea you have!
