| Description: | What are fun neighbourhoods? Feeling connected and being apart of your community and neighbourhood gives you a great sense of security. When you know your neighbours and interact with your community you encourage positive change and provide a safe place for your family to live. I think fun neighbourhoods consist of: *Children playing actively in their neighbourhoods and local parks. *Children and parents volunteer in their communities in order to stay connected, improve and enhance their communities. *Neighbours communicate with each other through get togethers, conversations, e-mails, ratepayers association meetings etc. and at local events such as garage sales, parks, community parties, local restaurants, school functions and more. *Neighbours know what resources are available to them through communication with local community groups, local government and other organizations (daycares, recreation centres, libraries etc). Neighbours are advocates to ensure adequate resources exist and they make a point of sharing what is available in their neighbourhoods. *Local government and neighbours promote and participate in active lifestyles and protect the outdoor environments that provide these opportunities. Neighbourhood members work to have greater access to trails, open spaces and other active living resources. *Fun neighbourhoods celebrate diversities and artistic pursuits. |

Boo! Who sent it?
Today I woke up and went outside to get the newspaper and guess what was waiting for me? A orange pumpkin bag, inside was a note (read below), with a bottle of wine, a pair of socks for my oldest son and a pumpkin bib for my youngest son. The note read like this: B

How to Organize a Successful and Fun Neighborhood Block Sale
I’m sure you’ve heard of the popular yard and garage sales and have probably had one or more of your own. Yard sales are a great way to make some extra money while de-cluttering your home of unused items. An even better method of doing this is to organize a neighborhood block sale. Anyone in your neighborhood can participate and each family has a sale at their own home. The beauty of a neighborhood block sale is that you draw a huge crowd of customers by having many individual sales at the same time and in the same neighborhood. Instructions
