Why do we have Neighbourhood Associations?

The City of Cambridge works in collaboration with Neighbourhood Associations in identifying and meeting the recreation needs of community residents. The Neighbourhood Associations provide a conduit for community engagement that ensures the City’s awareness of neighbourhood level concerns. Neighbourhood Associations enhance the wellbeing of community residents by responding and facilitating community level organizing to meet the varied needs of each geographic community that they support; this is done through a neighbourhood-based community development approach. The collaboration provides community access to decentralized and centralized recreation and social service program delivery throughout the City.
Neighbourhood-based Community Development

The Neighbourhood-based community approach includes a process where community members come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common issues. Community Development, within Cambridge Neighbourhood Associations is known for credible, innovative, and deep grassroots community development. Community development is developing deep insight and knowledge of the needs and wishes of residents; reducing isolation; increasing connection; connectedness within the neighbourhoods; sharing systems and resources all while fostering the City of Cambridge’s goals in People, Place and Prosperity.
