Halton Hills Neighbours Invited to Compete for the Ultimate Neighbourhood Block Party
HALTON HILLS, ON – This September, residents across Halton Hills are invited to strengthen neighbourhood connections while supporting local food banks through the Hey Neighbour Ultimate Neighbourhood Block Party Contest.
Held in celebration of National Good Neighbour Day on September 28, the contest encourages neighbours to work together to collect non-perishable food donations for Acton Food Share and Georgetown Bread Basket. The Neighbourhood or street that collects the most food by weight will win the Ultimate Neighbourhood Block Party, featuring food, fun, entertainment, and community spirit!
“Knowing your neighbours is part of what makes small-town living so special,” said Mayor Ann Lawlor. “The Hey Neighbour Ultimate Neighbourhood Block Party Contest brings our Town’s motto to life by creating opportunities for residents to connect, have fun and give back to the community together.”
The Ultimate Neighbourhood Block Party Contest is part of the Town's Hey Neighbour initiative, which encourages residents to build meaningful connections and strengthen the communities they call home. Through activities such as Play Streets, Block Parties, Open Streets, Good Neighbour Day and Toys in Parks, the program creates opportunities for neighbours to come together, get involved and foster a stronger sense of belonging.
This year's contest combines community-building with community giving, encouraging neighbours to support local food banks while competing for the chance to host the Ultimate Neighbourhood Block Party.
The contest is open to Halton Hills residents only, with registration available to individuals 18 years of age and older. Neighbours of all ages are encouraged to participate in the fun! For full contest rules, eligibility requirements and registration details, visit haltonhills.ca/heyneighbour.
Contest closes at 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 3.
