What
is Neighbourhoods Alive?
The Manitoba Government created Neighbourhoods Alive! to provide community organizations in designated neighbourhoods with the support they need to rebuild these neighbourhoods. Neighbourhoods Alive! recognizes that often the best ideas for neighbourhood revitalization come from the community itself. The aim of Neighbourhoods Alive! is to support these ideas and goals with funding and planning assistance.
Neighbourhoods
Alive! works with
- residents;
- community groups;
- schools;
- businesses; and
- other local organizations
Together, we can build
on the existing strengths and experiences of communities, and
take into account the distinctive needs, conditions and priorities
of individual neighbourhoods.
