Good Neighbour Stories

Do you know a story of a random act of kindness? Someone who just does nice things for their neighbours near or far? Or do you know a group of neighbours who got together to make a difference in your community? If you do, please post Good Neighbour Stories to this site. Sharing stories highlights the great things that people do in our communities everyday - the contributions can be big or small but everyone working together can make our communities even better!

A Recent Story by a Good Neighbour

I have a neighbour in my Cowie Hill neighbourhood by the name of Denis, who really cares about his community. During the many snowfalls this winter you could hear Denis outside with his shovel, removing snow from his neighbours walkways and parking lots before you even moved from your bed. Once I tried to repay his kindness with a small gift and he refused it. Denis is also known for cleaning up litter from our neighbourhood on a regular basis. Being a windy area garbage always strays during our curbside pick up - but Denis is out cleaning up the litter left behind. Inviduals who have been under the weather have also benefitted from a plate of 'scoff' as Denis put it. We're very lucky to have Denis as a caring neighbour who is always ready to show a kind example in our neighbourhood!
