Want to meet your neighbours and build stronger communities?

Your neighbourhood is filled with talented, passionate people just like you who care about your community. United Way British Columbia's Hi Neighbour Initiative helps you meet them and works with you to create opportunities to make a difference in your community in ways that matter most to you.  It starts with acts of local love. It might be as simple as saying hello to someone on the street, as fun as hosting a block party or as exciting as building a new community garden.

Join our monthly Hi Neighbour Volunteer Orientation sessions to learn how you can make a difference where you live. To find out more or to register, contact Hi Neighbour's Engagement Coordinator Cindy today.

Connecting with your neighbourhood matters

Making connections and creating places and spaces where people feel welcome and a part of a community improves people’s lives. That’s because loneliness and isolation are increasing. You and Hi Neighbour are the antidote!

When we get together, share and create, the fabric of our neighbourhoods becomes stronger, more vibrant and inclusive. When people are connected to their neighbours, they feel safer, less socially isolated, and healthier, and that’s great for everyone.
