2011---Here We Come!


A new year begins with all sorts of new prospects and starts. A chance to begin again or take on new challenges and make new dreams come true. In the spirit of renewed energy to make positive changes, I want you to think about your neighbourhood, your community. If you had the power to make one positive change in your neighbourhood that would make things better or people happier, what would that change be? The change may be a very simple one or it could be something huge. It could be something that is added to your neighbourhood or something that is removed. Think about it. Talk to your family about it. Once you have an idea for a positive change in your neighbourhood, post your suggestion in the comment section.

Here's an example of a change I'd love to see in my neighbourhood.
We have a small green island where 3 streets meet. I would love it if this could be converted into a mini sitting area with a huge shade tree planted surrounded by benches so that it would be a wonderful place for neighbours to sit and talk.

Now it's your turn to post your positive suggestion for your neighbourhood in the comment section.

Hi! In our community we have several grocery stores/convenience stores. I hope they will make use of reusable bags instead of plastic bags. That way we can lessen the garbage and be Earth friendly.

Near our home, about a block away, is a vacant lot. I hope they will use it as a community garden so children in our neighbourhood can use it for their field trips.

In my neighborhood the cars always speed past. Two cats have been run over. I want the city to put a speed bump or two on the road to stop the cars from speeding.
