Neighbour Week (June 21-27, 2026) is all about celebrating the small acts that help build stronger neighbourhood connections - saying hello, sharing a treat, hosting a small gathering, helping a neighbour or creating a simple opportunity for people to meet.
If you are planning an activity, we encourage you to register your event by the end of the day on Thursday, June 18, for a chance to win a Sobey's gift card to use towards your event.
You can also add your event to the Neighbour Week Interactive map so others can find activities happening nearby. The map is also a great way to explore what other neighbourhoods are planning and get inspired by events and activities happening across the municipality. Visit the Neighbour Week page for more information and access additional toolkits and resources.
To celebrate Neighbour Week, the community developer's team is also hosting a FREE Micro-Neighbourliness workshop that explores how you can harness the transformational power of small acts of neighbourliness to cultivate the supportive, connected neighbourhood you dream of. It is designed for both individuals and organizations with a curiosity about how small acts can activate your neighbourhood. The workshop is on Tuesday, June 23, 6:30-8:30 at the Halifax Common Multipurpose Room. Registration is required; visit www.Halifax.ca/neighbourweek for how to sign up.
Whether you are hosting an event, joining an activity, or simply making an effort to connect with someone nearby, every small act can help make our neighbourhood more welcoming!
Feel free to share with your network, and thank you for helping bring Neighbour Week to life!
