Abundant Avonmore

Abundant Avonmore is a grassroots initiative fostering neighbour to neighbour relationships.

 

The Vision

Neighbours connected at the block level and in the neighbourhood. Together we form strong, caring and supportive blocks and neighbourhoods where we look out for one another, share our talents, skills and resources with one another, recreate together, and collectively create the neighbourhood we desire.

 

Key Roles

Neighbourhood Connector

The Neighbourhood Connector’s primary role is to identify and support Block Connectors. This support can include:

  • Orienting you as a Block Connector
  • Explaining the ACE framework, process and resources
  • Providing you with resources
  • Helping out with the first couple of block connections
  • Assisting you with organizing block socials
  • Inviting you to a Block Connector group within the neighbourhood.
Block Connectors

Block Connectors connect with the neighbours that live around them (approximately 20 households). They introduce themselves and their three key roles:

  • Point Person
  • Party Person
  • Listener

This introduction is often paired with an invitation to a block social (e.g., block party, bbq, etc.). Over time neighbours get to know one another through the initiative taken by the Block Connector.
