Stewardship Groups
Residents’ Associations
Residents Associations are groups of neighbours interested in making
and keeping their neighbourhoods safe, crime free, peaceful and
attractive. They receive funding from membership fees.
They meet regularly at a location such as a school or church in the
neighbourhood to discuss matters of concern in the area. They bring in
departmental representatives from the city to assist with matters such as
traffic, zoning, parks initiatives, and social problems such as crime
prevention.
Residents’ Associations are the link between residents and the City. The
City often looks to local resident associations to provide input on new
developments and initiatives as well as to raise concerns about safety,
neighbourhood appearance, and the environment.
