Page 10  \nLet’s have a Block Party!  \nOur communities are stronger when we care about each other and the neighbourhoods we live in. A block party is the perfect opportunity for neighbours to come together, meet each other, and have fun! Friendships amongst neighbours result in safer, more caring communities. As friendships grow, so do welcoming and inclusive communities.  \nTop Ten Reasons to Host a Block Party  \n1. To have fun! You don't need a reason to celebrate.  \n2. To get to know who lives on your street. Neighbours who know each other are more likely to look out for one another.  \n3. To establish a sense of belonging within your community and keep that \"small town\" feeling.  \n4. To make additional connections in your community. Once you get to know your neighbours, you may want to exchange skills or resources with them, such as sharing tools or childcare.  \n5. To strengthen community spirit and encourage neighbours to look after their community.  \n6. To get to know who on the street might need a little extra help from time to time.  \n7. To meet some of the long-term neighbourhood residents and learn about your neighbourhood's history.  \n8. To plan projects you can work on with your neighbours, such as a barbeque/clean-up day.  \n9. To establish new friendships and connections.  \n10. To start a new tradition of getting together once a year.  \n1  \nAdvantages of Registering a Block Party with the City  \nBlock parties registered with the City receive the support of Community Social Development staff to help navigate the block party planning process and answer any questions. Other benefits of registering your block party with the City include:  \nApproved block parties registered with the City are eligible to receive a $150 financial support, available through $150 prepaid gift card to support the block party costs (food, insurance coverage, material, etc.)  \nPlease note: you will receive the prepaid credit card 48 before your block party event and requires a mandatory completion of a Block Party Evaluation questionnaire.  \n Block party hosts are eligible to borrow an activity tote (first come, first served basis) . These kits include supplies, games, and activities to support neighbourhood connection. See page 7 for details.  \n Extra online resources, such as a \" Bike Rodeo Toolkit\" developed by Alberta Health Services, and much more. See ‘‘ Resources for hosts‘‘ section of  Block Party webpage for all online resources.  \nResponsibilities of the Block Party Host  \nThank you for considering being a block party host in your neighbourhood! As the block party host, you want to plan a successful event.
