PICKERING: How a Neighbourhood Association should be

Neighbourhood associations are groups drawn together to help improve life in their community. There are numerous activities they can carry out to achieve these lofty heights. Here’s one example of a community association that not only works for the benefit of its own neighbourhood but also works for the benefit of the larger community.

The Fairport Beach Neighbourhood Association has been actively working to improve liveability within its neighbourhood and with the city at large for many, many years

The Fairport Beach Neighbourhood Association is more than just a local social group. It’s a group of homeowners from the Fairport Beach neighbourhood who have joined together in an association to keep the people of the neighbourhood informed and aware of issues concerning living there. The group actively lobbies the city and its councillors with neighbourhood concerns, issues and problems.

However, the association does more than just lobby the City for changes. It is also very active in supporting the needy members of the City by donations to the St. Paul on the Hill Food Bank.
