Workshop: Built by Neighbours: ABCD & NSG in Action

October 16 - October 17

October 16 & 17, 2025 | Penticton, BC

 You’re invited to a powerful two-day Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) workshop designed to grow stronger, more connected neighbourhoods – together.

This gathering will bring together local leaders, curious neighbours, grassroots organizers, nonprofit partners, and municipal champions from across the South Okanagan and Similkameen. Through story, tools, and practice, we’ll explore how to activate the strengths that already exist in our communities.

This workshop also lays the foundation for something new:
The Neighbourhood Sustainability Stream (NSS) – a fresh addition to the Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG) program launching in 2026. NSS will support climate resilience, local stewardship, and long-term community wellbeing. Join us to help shape this vision.

What you can expect:

  • Practical tools to grow what’s already strong
  • Inspiring local stories and guest facilitators
  • Meaningful time to connect, reflect, and co-create
  • Your voice helping shape the future of NSG
  • Nourishing lunches and good company

Limited spots available:

  • Registration required.
  • Valued at $400 per participant, with a sliding scale:
  • $300 for municipal staff • $200 for nonprofits • Free for NSG leaders and partners.
  • Participants must commit to both days to receive the subsidized rate.
