Community associations can be the means to strengthen every community.
There are a number of community associations in the City of Pickering, varying in size, membership, resident population and persona. These associations serve many constructive and concrete purposes. They bind the community together as neighbourhoods. They create social unification within a neighbourhood. They are a means of communication and information dissemination throughout a neighbourhood. In short, these are excellent ways of binding and bonding residents who are part of the neighbourhood.
However, the bonds that bind are only as strong as the executives who lead the association. If they are dynamic and energetic, the association follows suit. If they launch initiatives, the association flocks behind. If they want to promote and put the association in the public limelight, the association members benefit.
The benefits of a neighbourhood association are many with much for the association to be gained by it but everything rests on the shoulders of dedicated and committed leadership.
Without that leadership the question would be who are…
Fairport Beach Neighbourhood Association
Rougemont Community and Recreation Association
West Shore Community Association
Whitevale Community Association
We will learn more depending on the leaders of each!
