ACI was first implemented in Bonnie Doon last year, and its main goals include:
- Bringing neighbours together through shared interests and activities
- Utilizing the skills and abilities of residents for the benefit of others within the community
- Making the neighbourhood a better place to live based in the values and concerns of those who live here.
Block connectors, who act as representatives for those living on their block, are the heart and soul of Abundant Communities. Their role is to initiate conversations with their neighbours and to gather the information necessary to realize the program's unique vision. Several blocks are already represented, but more block connectors are still needed.
If you are passionate about your community and would like more information on becoming a block connector, please contact Marie-Danielle Lemm at abundant@bonniedoon.ca or visit our webpage.
