Student Resource Homes in the City What does it mean to live in a great neighbourhood Community standards in Edmonton encourage people to contribute to making sure they live in safe, clean and friendly neighbourhoods. What makes a neighbourhood great for one resident may be different than for another. However, many people agree that great neighbourhoods have the following qualities: • A well-maintained infrastructure, which includes features such as roads, lights, boulevards and sidewalks • Safe, clean and pleasant places and services that make the neighbourhood a better place to live or work • Residents who support each other and work with government to make their neighbourhood the place they want it to be. Many people also believe that making a better neighbourhood starts first with individuals in their own homes. This means that people should take responsibility for looking after the property in which they live or own. A well looked after property can involve more than you may think. Cleaning up garbage, removing graffiti and looking after lawns and sidewalks is part of it. However, ensuring that daily activities do not interfere with others is also important. This can mean considering if music is being played too loud or that the dog isn’t barking early in the morning or late at night. Think Ahead to Make It Real Is there such a thing as being a citizen in your own home What rights and responsibilities would you have People who own and live in properties have responsibilities.
