This year, Neighbour Day falls on Saturday, June 15th, 2024 and as many Hillhurst Sunnyside residents know, Neighbour Day is an important event in Sunnyside because it marks the tremendous support and community spirit that occurred following the 2013 floods. Last year marked the 10-year anniversary of the flood and the Sunnyside community gathered to march, connect, create, and celebrate their resiliency. An eclectic and vibrant display of costumes, music, and art were on full display along the parade route followed by a gathering at the containR site in Sunnyside. See the photos captured from last year’s resident-led event!
This year Sunnyside residents are organizing a Neighbour Day parade and festival. Like last year, people are encouraged to wear costumes, bring their noise makers and march in the parade.
