The City of Calgary will celebrate its 10th annual Neighbour Day on Saturday, June 17, 2023.
This year, The City once again offered free permits for block party and greenspace events taking place on Neighbour Day. The deadline to submit permit applications for Neighbour Day events was Sunday, May 28.
Calgarians can also invite Mayor Gondek, their local councillor, Calgary’s police officers, firefighters, and peace officers to their Neighbour Day event. An official invitation request can be submitted through calgary.ca/NeighbourDay.
Held annually on the third Saturday of June, Neighbour Day is an opportunity for neighbours to come together in the form of block parties, BBQs, cleanups, sport activities, and/or kids’ crafts and games.
Additional ideas on how to celebrate Neighbour Day include:
• Decorate the outside of your house or yard
