Brightside Community News – December 2020

Community Newsletter
November 2020

As we enter our ninth consecutive month living with COVID-19, many of us may be feeling “pandemic fatigue”. With the winter holiday season quickly approaching, many of us may also be feeling more stressed and uncertain. How do we celebrate? Do we celebrate? In this edition, we provide tips to self-manage this holiday season, as well as resources to mental and emotional support services in the community. How you choose to celebrate the holidays this year, thank you for keeping yourself and others around you safe!

 

Brightside Community News – November 2020

Community Newsletter
October 2020

It takes the work of a community to protect our most vulnerable of neighbours from abuse, neglect, and self-neglect. Awareness is key. Educate yourself on the different types of abuse, neglect, and self-neglect, how to spot the signs, and understand what you can and cannot do if you see or hear something troubling. If you see something, say something. Learn. Volunteer. Look out for each other. Wear purple on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD), which takes place annually on June 15. It’s takes all of us to make our community a safe, secure, and inclusive place to live.

Welcome to the first edition of Brightside Community News! As a result of the success of the COVID-19 briefs from the past several months, we’re expanding the content to include other pieces of important information on community resources. Many thanks to the BC Association of Community Response Networks (BC CRN) for their support: they’ve provided us with the necessary funding to produce monthly editions until the end of 2020.

Fall 2019

Fall of 2019 saw some exciting activity in the Brightside community. A bigger and better venue for the Brightside holiday party, a new business centre pilot program, and a lot of positive progress for residents in Brightside’s redevelopment efforts. 2020 will be an exciting and eventful year for the Brightside community and we are looking forward to seeing everyone.

Summer 2019

It was another exciting summer in the Brightside community. The events were a blast, with great turnouts at Car Free Days, the World Elder Abuse Awareness Day event, and the Annual Community BBQ. As the summer season has come to a close, we have a lot to reflect on and even more to look forward to. Thank you to all the residents for your ongoing support. Without you, we would not be able to have such success with our community initiatives. We look forward to connecting with you all as our vibrant community continues to grow!
