We champion programs and initiatives that strengthen the capacity of residents to have meaningful engagements with each other and the world around them. We are a vibrant community hub - creating welcoming spaces within and beyond our walls, both virtually and in-person; a place where communities of interest, mixed demographics (income, age, backgrounds, ethnicities, newcomers, housing type) converge to participate in a shared sense of community and connection with others.
