3 ways to get to know your new neighbourhood
Settling somewhere new can be challenging. Here are three ways to get better acquainted with your new neighbourhood. 1. The practical approach Take time to locate the essentials like grocery stores, medical clinics, drugstores and garages. You should also investigate your town’s website. It likely contains information about municipal bylaws, garbage pick-up days and upcoming special events. Many municipalities offer notification services for things like boil water advisories and roadwork updates. It’s a good idea to sign up for these if possible. Also, keep in mind that local newspapers, like the one you’re reading right now, are full of useful information. 2. The recreational approach A great way to get to know your neighbourhood is to look for places where you can pursue your hobbies.
Creative types can seek out arts and craft stores or classes offered by galleries and local artisans. Voracious readers should find out where the nearest library is. Many of them offer activities like book clubs, which are a great way to meet people who share your passion. If you’re a fitness nut, make a list of gyms, pools and local sports leagues. 3. The community approach Get involved in your community by joining your neighbourhood association, your home owner’s association or your condo association. If you’re a parent with school-age kids, also consider volunteering at your children’s school. These are great ways to actively participate in making your new neighbourhood a better place to live and you’ll meet many new people to boot. In addition to the three approaches mentioned, be sure to talk to your new neighbours. One of the best ways to learn about what’s in your area is by word of mouth.
