Connecting Neighbours Program
The Connecting Neighbours Program offers small contributions (up to $200) to support resident-led activities that are open to all residents in an Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society building and promote wellness, social connections, and a sense of community.
The Connecting Neighbours Program is open to all Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society residents. Participation per resident is limited to once a year. Please note that funding is limited, and applications will be approved until available funds are exhausted. Priority will be given to applications from buildings that have not yet submitted a request.
