“We held the Back to School Fun Party at the end of August. We gathered around 20 children and their families at Annieville Lions Park. The children played in the park and had a lot of fun there. We told
“Rain or shine the party must go on…
Thank you again so much for contributing – our neighbours were so appreciative that we were able to add some additional elements for our block party this year.
My project is a community neighbourhood
“We were thrilled to see about 50 people from 15 to 20 different households stop by during the event. Not only did we manage to go through all 50 hot dogs, but the feedback from the neighbours was overwhelmingly positive.
“A huge thank you to Delta Community Foundation and Neighbourhood Small Grants – Delta for providing the funds to help support our Cul-De-Sac Lego Challenge Canada Day Party 2023.”
Kind regards, Diane

In the Stahaken Place townhome community in Tsawwassen 32 people from 12 families got together for the first time at a block party on August 7, 2021, thanks to a Neighbourhood Small Grant. Lulu Xie and Loretta Prim, who organized the event, said people were mingling and chatting. One neighbor found out their daughter was a colleague of another neighbor’s father. Another found out that a neighbor was the framer for another neighbor’s house, another who worked in the same industry, and some kids were in the same school. — story and photos by Lulu Xie
Sunshine Hills Community Virtual Garden Show in North Delta provided a chance for local residents to connect in a different way through displays of their gardens, with support from the Neighbourhood Small Grants program.
Twelve Kindness Kits went to any Delta residents who signed up, and eight participated in a meetup on Zoom, in Kindness Kits and Zoom Meet Up, with support from the Neighbourhood Small Grants program.
Now more than ever, in BC, we need to stay connected with our neighbours and community members.We want to support small-scale individual-led community projects that comply with the new social/physical distancing guidelines in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.Responsive Neighbourhood Small offer grants of up to $500 to individuals or family members from the same household or for those who are interested to collaborate with neighborhoods across British Columbia to build community strength and resilience, foster community creativity and wellbeing, and tackle social isolation.
Delta residents who want to connect and engage with others in their neighbourhoods, just to get to know them, or to make their community a better place to live, can do something about it with a Neighbourhood Small Grant from the Delta Foundation.
Based on a simple but powerful idea – that everyone is a valuable member of the community and that we all have something to share — Neighbourhood Small Grants of $50 to $500 can enable local residents to strengthen their community by bringing people together, sharing their skills and knowledge, celebrating diversity, and increasing their sense of belonging.
