Get involved

There are a lot of developments, activities and issues going on in our neighbourhood and we need members to become more active in order to preserve our quality of life, ensure the safety of our residents and make our neighbourhood a fun place to live, work and play. If you’re interested in getting more involved, we have various committees, tasks and leadership opportunities for residents of all ages. Whether you’re available for a one time event or a few times a year, we welcome your participation.

Below are some of the volunteer opportunities we have available. If you’re interested in learning more please email me at CHNA4U@gmail.com.

- Executive Committee (Annual General Meeting held in October)
- Block Captains*
- Street Reps**
- Parks and Recreation Committee
- Traffic Committee Committee
- Planning and Development Committee
- Safety and Crime Prevention Rep
- Communication and Media Rep
- Fund Raising Rep
-Special Events Reps***

*Responsible for being a committee chairperson or a CHNA representative of a specific issue or initiative.

**Responsible for distributing flyers to sub distributors on streets. Although, we are trying to eliminate the need for flyers by encouraging all residents to provide an email address or register for the phone tree so that we can communicate with them on events and issues more easily. Flyers cost money to produce, time to distribute and are not good for the environment. Until we have the majority of the neighbourhood signed up for phone or email communication, flyer distribution will likely be necessary 2-3 times a year. Teens and scout groups are encouraged to volunteer. Community service letters will gladly be given to those who participate.

*** Fall Festival, Spring Capital Clean Up, Summer Yard Sale, Holiday Tree Lighting, Winter Family Fun in the Parks are just some of the events we would like to provide on an annual basis but we need volunteers to help run them. Most of these events are also appropriate for teen volunteers too. Consider making one of these events a family tradition and teach your kids about helping others and supporting their community.


Sincerely,
Amanda Farris, President
