One of the things that makes our community special is the people who live here. Their stories, talents, experiences, and moments—big or small—are what truly bring our neighbourhood to life. That’s why we’re inviting community members to contribute content for future issues of this newsletter.
If you enjoy writing, photography, history, or simply sharing something interesting or uplifting, we’d love to consider your submission.
What Kind of Content Are We Looking For?
We’re interested in pieces that are informative, educational, or entertaining, and that reflect community life. Ideas include:
• A short story or reflection about life in the neighbourhood
• A local history piece or “did you know?” article
• A resident-written column on a hobby, skill, or passion
• Photos from a recent community-hosted event (with a short caption or story)
• A creative contribution like a poem, puzzle, cartoon, or game
• Letters to the editor or thoughtful opinion pieces on community topics
• Helpful, non-promotional how-to articles or seasonal tips
To keep things fair and aligned with our newsletter guidelines, submissions cannot include links, self-promotion, advertising, calls to action, or content that promotes paid programs, services, businesses, or events. The focus should always be on sharing information or stories—not selling or promoting.
Length and Format Guidelines
• Articles should be approximately 300 to 600 words
• If you include photos, the written word count should be shorter
• Photos should be clear, high-quality, and relevant to the story
Please note that the newsletter team reserves the right to edit submissions for clarity, tone, content, and length to ensure everything fits well within the publication.
If you’ve been thinking, “I have something I could share,” this is your nudge. Whether it’s thoughtful, fun, creative, or informative—your voice matters, and your contribution helps make this newsletter a true reflection of our community.
We look forward to reading what you send!
