Neighbourhood Connect

The City of St. John's 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.
