Abundant Community
We believe in the power of families, neighbourhoods and connections.
What are the benefits?
BDCL no longer operates a formal program based on the Abundant Community Initiative. But we still support its values!
- Increased safety: neighbours who know each other are more likely to notice suspicious activity and to help each other in emergency situations
- A greater sense of connection and belonging
- This PDF file lists many benefits of "neighbouring"
- Better community programs, groups and activities
- Economic growth: local businesses, including home-based businesses, are better promoted and supported
- Neighbourhood empowerment: greater networking for residents advocating for change; more effective collaboration with municipal agencies
