On a warm afternoon Addison and Shaw Street neighbours came together to strengthen community ties, meet new faces, and engage in meaningful conversations.
Kathy from Cambridge Neighbourhood Support attended the event and shared an update of current campaigns.

It was a lovely afternoon filled with laughter, good conversations, delicious food including a sausage sizzle and other treats which made the gathering even more enjoyable. Everyone had the chance to mix, mingle, and strengthen their connections with one another, reinforcing the spirit of community.
