Building a Connected and Vibrant Community!
SECA is all about bringing people together, and now we have a Community Connector to help us! We welcome Anya Pena Egle, who is working with us to engage with residents, strengthening local connections, and uncovering community strengths and opportunities. You may spot her at pop-up stations around the neighbourhood, or at Picnic in the Park! A huge thank you to Carya for funding this valuable role.
