Neighbourhood Connect

The City of St. John's, in partnership with Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services, is excited to announce the launch of the new Healthy City initiative, Neighbourhood Connect.

Neighbourhood Connect events bring neighbours together! The initiative is centred on building community, sharing helpful information, and making meaningful connections. Whether you're looking to meet new people or learn about local resources, Neighbourhood Connect is a great way to get involved and help create healthier, more connected neighbourhoods.

More than just an event — Neighbourhood Connect is about creating family-friendly spaces where neighbours meet, chat, move, laugh, and learn together.

Upcoming Neighbourhood Connect Event:

Wishingwell Rd. Park (Mundy Pond Neighbourhood)
Saturday, May 9, 2026
10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

This Neighbourhood Connect event will focus on wheeling, walking, and cycling in all seasons. The event will promote active transportation by focusing on skills and pedestrian safety and etiquette. It will also be a chance for residents to experience and learn more about using the City’s Shared Use Paths.

What to Expect:
