Help us create an online hub for all things neighbourhoods!
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
When we worked with the community to develop our neighbourhood strategy, over 1,700 residents shared their thoughts about the great things neighbours can do to make Waterloo a more vibrant, caring, and engaged place where everyone belongs. An online hub for all things neighbourhoods - the development of a neighbourhood-specific website - will help neighbours access supports, tools, and information for neighbours to do great things.
Based on the feedback we received during the development of the neighbourhood strategy, our new neighbourhood website will include:
Ideas to encourage neighbourliness
Information on volunteering in your neighbourhood
Available neighbourhood funding
Online space for neighbourhood groups to connect
Information about neighbourhood-based programs such as outdoor rinks, block connectors, neighbourhood and homes associations, and community gardens
Easy to use toolkits for common neighbourhood projects or ideas
Information about access to special event equipment for neighbourhood activities
A mapping tool to explore indoor and outdoor spaces in Waterloo
Stay tuned!

Thank you to everyone that provided feedback on the online hub for all things neighbourhoods! Based on the survey responses, the following items will be incorporated into website plans:
Neighbourhood identity plans to help those without a neighbourhood association identify and name their area to help build community connections.
Neighbourhood equipment program and available details.
Neighbourhood-focused funding and grant information.
Toolkits to assist neighbours with neighbourhood interactions such as how to support an inclusive neighbourhood, how to organize a neighbourhood event, and how to welcome new neighbours.
Tips and inspiration from other communities.
An easy to use and welcoming design that incorporates real neighbourhood photos.
Next steps:
The neighbourhood team is working with the website provider to:
Incorporate feedback into website content development and design
Select design and layout features for the website
Host online engagement with a website content draft
Launch the website
Add additional functions based on neighbourhood strategy action items
Update content and resources to reflect community supports over time
