Pleasant-Woodside Neighbourhood Association - Member's Statement

MS. CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Pleasant-Woodside Neighbourhood Association. This group of active individuals in Dartmouth South have been working together to bring a sense of community and civic pride to the Pleasant Street-Woodside corridor.

Made up entirely of volunteers, the association has been hard at work hosting meet-and-greets, community cleanups, and bake sales, and amplifying the work of other community organizations. They are active in plans to beautify the area, support local businesses, monitor and maintain community assets, and develop a vibrant future for the Pleasant-Woodside community.

A community thrives when its members are engaged and feel a sense of ownership for the future of where they live. Please join me in congratulating the fine work this young organization has already done to further the amazing community of Dartmouth. I can't wait to see how the work of the Pleasant-Woodside Neighbourhood Association will grow in the coming years.
