This weekend you can get out and explore eight different neighbourhoods in our city.
Crime Prevention Council Coordinator Lee-Ann Chevrette tells us it’s a way of fostering community.
She says that strengthening connections with your neighbour makes for a stronger neighbourhood, which in turn makes the community safer.
“We also know that when people know their neighbours, they tend to look out for one another,” Chevrette points out.
The weekend event is named after Toronto urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs.
It’s the 8th year for the initiative. (File Photo)
