In the fall of 2017, I was part of diverse group of stakeholders from the housing, public health, municipal, private and non-profit sectors who were invited by the City of Vancouver on a Hey Neighbour! field trip to tour friendly buildings in the city.
Hey Neighbour! aimed to increase our understanding of the connection between sociability and well-being through multi-unit buildings. This provided an opportunity for us to learn directly from the residents and property managers, and see the local best practices first-hand. It also started a conversation around the importance of working collaboratively across industries to support increased sociability among neighbours.
