The FBN Ratepayers Association is a neighbourhood group that’s a model for other neighbourhoods in the City of Pickering:
- they volunteer
- they donate time, energy and effort
- they give to the City’s needy
- they give help where help is needed
This list could go on and on. It’s a neighbourhood populated by people who care about their City and work to make it a better place.
Individuals within the association should be highlighted but are not, as most of them are so modest they would feel awkward under such a spotlight.
FBNA BBQ Breakfast
Be that as it may, the FBNA recently held a breakfast BBQ to help raise money for the City’s animal services, DARS, the St. Paul Food Bank. They raised nearly $1,000 on a rainy, lousy weather, spring morning. Kudos to them!
Fairport Beach Neighbourhood Association is just one of the many great neighbourhoods that make the City of Pickering a great place to live. Thanks FBNA!

[The FBNA had nothing to do with this posting. Most likely many of their members would feel awkward about it. This should not be so. This is a neighbourhood group of people who are supportive of their City and do things to help it stay vibrant and dynamic. This piece is written to give other City neighbourhoods ideas, not to tout and promote FBNA. There are other city neighbourhoods with residents who also work to make Pickering a better city.]
