Celebrate Calgary’s Neighbour Day

Neighbour Day 2022 provides an opportunity for Calgarians to celebrate community spirit, kindness, and resilience in creating enjoyable activities for everyone. Invite neighbours for a BBQ, plan a sporting event, organize a community activity, or create your own way to connect with community spirit. 

"Neighbour Day was born as a result of the 2013 floods to help people reconnect after a difficult time. As we slowly emerge from the shadow of the pandemic, the community spirit and kindness felt on Neighbour Day has never been more important," said Mayor Jyoti Gondek. 

The City of Calgary is offering FREE Greenspace, Block Party and Street Play permits for Neighbour Day. Applications must be submitted by May 29. Visit Calgary.ca/Neighbourday to apply. 

"Neighbour Day is a great way to get to know neighbours and enjoy spending time together," said Peter Ma, Community and Program Development Worker. "When neighbours know each other, communities are more resilient as people feel like they can reach out to each other to offer or accept support when challenges hit."
