Piloted in the Downtown neighbourhood in the fall of 2024 in collaboration with Building Resilient Neighbourhoods and the City of Victoria’s Emergency Management division, this program works with Downtown strata and apartment buildings to help grow social connections between neighbours and support shared emergency preparedness.
We will be relaunching the program later in 2025 and working with three different Downtown buildings. Stay tuned for more details.
