At Parkland West Bedford, N.S., the 670 Residents Council Association helps neighbours stay connected. This resident-led group shares ideas, supports wellness programs, hosts social activities, and gives back to the wider community, successfully supporting the Gateway Community Foodbank multiple times each year. Members like Roly Burton and Ed Empringham say the Council offers meaningful responsibility and keeps residents involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside team member-led recreation, resident-driven activities provide choice and ownership by celebrating the experience and talents residents bring to the community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
