Members of the City of North Battleford with the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design group are working to enable neighbourhoods to come together and build communities that matter to them.
Meighen Crescent held a block party recently and created the first street mural of the year. The mural was made possible by the planning of the neighbourhood, co-ordinating the block party and the mural painting.
According to a City press release, community-driven events like these help to create civic pride and keep streets safe and vibrant.
Individuals spearheading a block party are qualified to enter a draw to win either a five-burner barbecue or a custom designed fire pit by Metalman. Applications to host a block party are available at City Hall or by calling 306-445-1700 for more information.
Painting a street mural can be done in conjunction with a street party, or it can be its own event. Contact City Hall and with a design for the street mural. The City will co-ordinate the supply of paint and brushes. Then, on the set date, the neighbourhood comes out and creates the mural.
