Take a look at the Vancouver Foundation’s 2017 report “Connect and Engage” outlining current community perspectives on connections and engagement in Metro Vancouver neighborhoods. In this report, Vancouver gets a bad rap for being a salty city that is cordial, but weak in its meaningful social connections. Key findings show that people, while not always permanently placed in their neighbourhoods, want to develop stronger ties to their community.
We especially love Key Finding #6: Neighbours want to get to know each other better through social gatherings, community festivals, and community projects. Does this fit for you? What groups and gatherings would make you feel most connected?
