Countdown to the first annual Neighbour Week in the Halifax region
Celebrate Neighbour Week 2025 with us from June 22-28, 2025
Check back on Monday, June 2 to learn more about the annual event and new resources created to support community building.
Meeting your neighbours can be a wonderful way to build a sense of community and create meaningful connections. We know that reaching out isn't always easy, especially for those who are shy, new to the area or unsure where to start.
The guides on this page (available June 2) are designed to help create a welcoming and relaxed environment where everyone can feel comfortable getting to know one another. Remember to be respectful of your neighbours' time, space and comfort levels. Don't be discouraged if some people are more reserved, not everyone will be ready to connect right away and that's okay. Building relationships takes time but with a little effort and genuine interest, you'll soon feel more connected to your community.
