Canning Community Builder

Our Neighbourhood Engagement team is working behind the scenes to keep you connected with what’s happening in your local neighbourhoods and to provide you with information, connection and support when you need assistance. They are also teaming up with the amazing community members who registered to become Community Connectors, to help link the “doers” with the people who need some extra support in their street or community.
