Neighbourhood Initiative Program
Purpose, Goals and Criteria:
The City of Airdrie encourages residents to help build strong and vibrant neighbourhoods with the purpose of increasing community pride and ownership and creating neighbourhoods that are safe and caring. The Neighbourhood Initiative Program supports these goals by providing up to $500 for Airdrie residents to collaboratively create, implement, and sustain an initiative that will positively impact the quality of life in Airdrie.
