NeighbourLink North York is excited to announce Meet Your Neighbour Week August 14th to the 21st! A full week of connecting with all of the amazing residents that make Willowdale such a special place! What could be better after a year and a half of social isolation?

What is Meet Your Neighbour Week?

A series of meet ups in our neighbourhood organized for neighbours by neighbours! These neighbour meet ups can range from offering lemonade on your driveway for those who live on your street or hanging out in a park with the people that live on the same floor of your condo! The week will culminate with Willowdale Yard Sale Day on August 21st.

How does it work?

If you would like to host a small meet up for your neighbours you can organize it on your own or you can register here with the free "Neighbour Meet Up Host" ticket. When you do you'll receive a Meet Your Neighbour Kit. It will include ideas for your meet up and a poster that you can add your meet up details to and use as an invitation for your neighbours.

What is Willowdale Yard Sale Day?

Willowdale Yard Sale Day will be on Saturday August 21st. It's an opportunity to sell your treasures on your driveway or yard and shop the neighbourhood before the end of the summer. You can register your yard sale here with the "Yard Sale Host" ticket. When you register, your yard sale address and time will be added to the Willowdale Yard Sale Map which we will be advertising to help drive business to your sale.

You can take a look at the map here: bit.ly/yardsaledaymap

Condo or Apartment dwellers or those who would prefer to sell from their car instead of their yard can register with the "Trunk Sale" ticket for a spot at Willowdale Christian Reformed Church at 70 Hilda Avenue. Sell out of the trunk of their car or on a table from 9am-1pm!

The church will also have a Mom 2 Mom Sale for moms to sell with one another from 9am-1pm. You can register with the "Mom 2 Mom" ticket.

The $10 reservation deposit for Mom2Mom and Trunk Sale can be refunded upon arrival (less the Eventbrite Fee) or donated to the development of a new food bank.

Spots are limited!
