| What
is a Neighborhood Association? |
Neighborhood associations are formally recognized
organizations which offer an opportunity for citizens to address
the issues that impact their neighborhood. Participation is
voluntary and open to all citizens who live or own property
within its boundaries.
Neighborhood associations are inclusive, reflecting the diversity
which enriches a community. Members include families, singles,
retired people, business owners, faith-based organizations,
schools, homeowners, and renters.
Most neighborhood associations are concerned with issues that
affect the quality of life in their community. This can include
issues such as zoning regulations, crime prevention, sidewalks,
litter and parks. Neighborhood associations can also strengthen
person-to-person contact by sponsoring neighborhood festivals
and block parties.
Canby has four neighborhood Associations - Riverside, Northeast,
Southwest and Southeast. |
