By HSCA’s Sarah, Community Connections Coordinator

Every Thursday a group of community members and I gather for Neighbour Night at HSCA to share a meal together and learn something new. Restrictions on gatherings did not stop us last week when we gathered in an online chat or “Virtual Neighbour Night,” sharing pictures of our dinners and tips on how to cook some of the group’s favorite meals, namely Filipino Pancit (yum!). Community members exchanged ideas of what we have been doing at home, such as planting seeds, painting, and taking courses online… but most notably of all we discovered the “Toilet Paper Moon Selfie!” Can you take a selfie through a roll of toilet paper so your face looks like a moon? We sure can! Community members encouraged each other to connect through the chat throughout the week before signing off. Virtual Neighbour Night has proven that we are connected by more than geography alone, we are connected by shared experiences, shared interests, shared memories, and of course shared laughs!
