🌱 Change Is Possible — A Shout Out to My Amazing Community
📅 Started: March 3rd | Today: A Community Update

This is what happens when people come together — real, lasting change begins. To everyone who showed up, spoke up, and took action: thank you. It truly takes a village, and I encourage each of you to keep building this kind of energy in your own neighbourhoods.

So, how did we do it?

​

It started with one area — and one shared concern: developer neglect. When spaces are ignored, it creates an environment of non-care. But when people care, we can shift the energy, inspire action, and nurture growth. Raise the bar in your community.

​

Here’s what our community did together:

1. A few of my neighbours who live and walk in the area raised their voices and shared concerns. We connected through social media, group chats, and our neighbourhood watch.

2. Gordon (my dog!) almost caught a rat — that definitely got everyone’s attention!

3. Addressed the issue head-on with developers neglecting their properties.

4. Reached out to those developers and followed up through their networks.

5. Logged an official 311 call to get the city involved.

6. Asked for help — and encouraged all of you to report as well.

7. Shared fresh ideas and sent letters to the Mayor and our local Councillors.

8. Neighbours followed up with Council and city staff to ensure real action was taken.

9.Council will be adding more garbage bins to the area — and conversations with partners, including private companies, must continue. Real transformation takes time.

10. We continue to support neighbour-led clean-up efforts (and yes — you’re always invited to join!).

This work is still ongoing — because when we support each other, everyone wins.

Thank you to each and every one of you who stepped up. Let’s keep the momentum going — change is possible, and we’re proving it together.
