The City encourages residents to do the same on Neighbour Day, by hosting their own celebrations, throwing a barbecue or picnic, a driveway or sidewalk art competition, or even just inviting a neighbor over for coffee.

The City is already having a scavenger hunt leading up to Neighbor Day, through the Goose Chase app.

Participants can indicate which neighborhood they live in, and when the contest closes on Sunday, September 11, the top three neighborhoods win a prize.
