How would you improve your community?
Our community consists of probably 30,000 people in the winter and jumps to over 100,000 in season. My husband and I live in a beach town just north of Toronto. The beach is beautiful, nature trails are so rustic and calming, a few restaurants, a few big box stores and lots of people with not much to do to accommodate them through the winter months. Ghost town.
The main beach is being restored and revamped which is exciting. Its been the same for so many years and had gone down hill. That is a huge improvement for our town. The next thing that needs improvement are the hotels/motels around town. I would consider getting volunteers to help bring life back to these places. Beautiful gardens. Donations to revive the interior finishes. Age limits on renters, no monthly rentals. I understand people need places to go but the upkeep has to be mandatory as well. Noone wants to drive by and see garbage, mattresses on their front porch, old ratty furniture outside. We need more people in our community to lend a hand to those less fortunate and help repair, rebuild and keep the community beautiful.
I’d love to have boutiques in our community. Somewhere to shop for unique items. Maybe a cool coffee shop to visit after, other than the original Tim Hortons or Starbucks, one that you can’t wait to visit to sit and enjoy the atmosphere and delicious coffee.
There’s always improvements to be made in any community but what really matters is how the community bonds together and are proud to live there.
Do your part to help with the community you live in, together we can all make it better. Reach out to your neighbor and be kind to the people around you.
Together we win 🫶
