The conversations hosted as part of the *Connecting Lakeside* Initiative helped neighbours get to know one another; discover their shared hopes for the building that they call home; and, discover the gifts, knowledge and talents they each have to share.  It also created an opportunity for Region staff and community partners to get to know and work with Lakeside residents to facilitate linkages with the broader community, and to support resident-led projects that have made the building an even better place to live.  [Read More](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/latest/connecting-lakeside-a-deepening-community-initiative?hsLang=en-us) [![](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/hubfs/2017_Neighbours_Deepening%20Community%20Journal/lovemyhood_blog_march%202017.jpg) ](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/latest/historical-moment-for-unanimously-endorsed-neighbourhood-strategy?hsLang=en-us) ### [Historical Moment for Unanimously Endorsed Neighbourhood Strategy](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/latest/historical-moment-for-unanimously-endorsed-neighbourhood-strategy?hsLang=en-us) Posted by [Michelle Drake](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/latest/author/michelle-drake) on March 1, 2017 | It's official.
