Connect and prepare, neighbours helping neighbours.

Hey neighbours! Let’s Connect & Prepare together!

ByBuilding Resilient Neighbourhoods

Participate in Connect & Prepare and help build a culture of “neighbours helping neighbours” where you live! (Two info sessions available!)

About this Event

The pandemic is reminding us all of the value of social connections and supports. And indeed, during many kinds of emergencies, the first “First Responders” are usually our neighbours — the people next door who are right there to help. Building a stronger community of neighbours today can help us be better prepared for emergencies now and tomorrow.

And that’s what our free Connect & Prepare program is all about!
