We Care During This Health Crisis...
Dear Bannerman Neighbours,
The Bannerman Community League appreciates these past few days have been trying times in our neighbourhood as we retreat to our homes and close the door in our efforts to keep family, friends and neighbours safe from COVID-19. Bannerman, A Community that Cares for each other would encourage you to reach out by phone, a wave from the door step or a walk in our lovely river valley to remain connected and limit the possible anxiety some of us are feeling at this time. If you are aware of any neighbours who need to self-isolate or who could use some assistance with grocery delivery, medication delivery, or social contact via phone, please feel free to reach out to us to connect with a community member at bannermanleague@gmail.com

Christmas Craft FairOur Holiday Craft Fair has been maintained for over 20 years and brings together local home made crafters. We love seeing neighbours support our local entrapeneurs! We put out calls for vendors in September of every year.

Little LibrariesEight Little Libraries were crafted and hand-painted with love by our own community members in the summer of 2016 and distributed throughout our neighbourhood. These have become a great resource for sharing knowledge among our children.

Bannerman in Action
|
In 2019, Bannerman in Action was conceived in an attempt to bring neighbours together by introducing those who needed some assistance with a 2-3 hour task with neighbours who wanted to lend a helping hand. The event was such a success - identifying 21 neighbours who wanted to meet those in their community who has specific skills and talent, and then recruiting a whopping 80 volunteers who thrive on community spirit. It has since become an annual event!
