A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood with the Return of Neighbours' Day

STONY PLAIN, AB: Will you be my neighbour? Neighbours' Day is returning to Stony Plain on September 18. Residents are encouraged to plan neighbourhood activities to get to know their neighbours, build community, and strengthen Stony Plain spirit. 

Neighbours' Day was first introduced to Town in 2019 as a Mayor’s Task Force initiative. Residents participate in the event by registering as ‘Neighbourhood Connectors’ who are then tasked with organizing a community event. 

Mayor William Choy says, “Neighbours' Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our community and get to know the people who make up Stony Plain.  I look forward to seeing this celebration every September.”

“Stony Plain Neighbours' Day is a day to acknowledge our neighbours who have cared, supported and worked to keep our community connected. It’s all about recognizing our neighbours are our greatest assets!” says Deanna Butz, Community Development Officer for the Town of Stony Plain. 

Neighbours Day will kick off in Shikaoi Park at 10AM with coffee, light snacks, and live entertainment. This year’s theme is none other than everyone’s favourite neighbour, Mr. Rogers. Participants are encouraged to dawn their best neighbourly cardigan and get connected to others in their neighbourhood.
