Good Neiglibours was designed by the province to promote and encourage nieighbourly acts in our community and to provide the reassurance and the push that will motivate people to do what their instincts bid them to do - to make it okay to offer a little assistance or encouragement to someone who needs it. This cam be done in many Ways, sometimes as simply as friendly visiting, the act of a young person who rakes leaves for an ilI or elderly neighbour, or a senior who picks up mail for a working mom.
