Vision

Envision a vibrant, healthy, safe, and sustainable community to live, work, and play, and foster successful community projects and partnerships.

5-Year Plan

Through community consultations, a 5-Year Plan was developed which is intended to provide a general context for neighbourhood revitalization and development. Our 6 priority areas include:

1. Crime & Safety

2. Parks & Recreation

3. Housing

4. Physical Environment/Image and Pride

5. Community Economic Development

6. Community Wellness and Wellbeing

In order to address these priorities we work with the community to bring together resources, money, and people to work together at making our community a better place to live. We know that in order for community development to be successful it has to be community led, community driven, and most importantly community supported.

TPCRC organizes community projects which include: Annual Street Festival, Canada Day Celebrations, Santa Claus Parade, Be a Santa to a Senior, Tickled Pink Day, and a monthly Community Calendar. We partner with various organizations and service groups for events and projects. We offer our Small Grants Funding Program to support community projects up to $5,000.00. Non-profit groups, community-based organizations, and local groups are welcome to apply. The purpose of the Small Grants Program is to bring people together and respond to the priorities of TPCRC and community.

"The CMNRC was created in 2011 to bring together the thirteen Neighbourhood Renewal Corporations (NRC) from across the Province. It was designed to provide a venue for NRCs to work collaboratively on planning, projects and initiatives of common interest. It has also become an important voice for the neighbourhoods and residents. Each NRC takes a homegrown approach, as directed by their communities and have demonstrated that local decision making is the key to ensuring the success of programs and projects. Collectively, we measure our success through four key areas: community led development, NRC’s as job creators, funds leveraged in the community and engaging community volunteers."
