Ever notice how some neighborhoods just have that "magic" that makes them feel like home? 🏡✨ Calgary has that in spades, especially for young families looking to grow roots and spread their wings. Here's a personal insight. A few years back, a client was torn between the big city and suburban life, their biggest concern being the community feel for their kids. Fast forward to today, they're the biggest advocates for family-friendly neighborhoods in Calgary. How? The answer lay in the community events that brought families together, creating bonds stronger than the Alberta winters! From summer BBQs in the park to winter festivals of lights, every event in Calgary seems designed to build connections and joy. 🎈 This isn’t just about fun and games. These community events are the threads that weave strong neighborhood fabrics. By helping families find their perfect spot in Calgary, we've observed: 1. Children’s development is enriched with community activities. 2. Parents find a support network. 3. The value of properties often increase as neighborhoods build a reputation for being "the place to live" for families. To my clients looking for a space to grow bigger or those wanting to downsize without losing community ties, remember, it's not just square footage that makes a home—it's the laughter, support, and shared experiences in your locality. Calgary isn't just where you buy a house; it's where you find a home and a community that embraces you. To those who wonder if community spirit still exists, I say come to Calgary's family-friendly neighborhoods - it's alive and thriving here! 🌈 Calling all Calgarians — what’s your favorite local event that brings our communities closer together?

Investing in parks and involving communities in their evolution can pave the way for healthier, more cohesive societies. #CommunityCohesion #PublicParks #SocialCapital https://lnkd.in/gsJtNdyT

"The solution to the most intractable problems that we face in our communities starts from the grassroots, inside out." - Cormac Russell In community development, collaborative effort is what helps make the change. When we empower everyone in our community to become the change we desire to see, we are well on our way to achieving great things. The key to sustainable community development is unity. Not thinking along the lines of 'them' but thinking along the lines of 'us'. 📹Cormac Russell at TEDxExeter on sustainable community development.
