Updates for 2024
- Funding Grant for each Street event increased from $150 to $250
- Assistance in finding a location for your event (e.g., you don't have quiet street to hold your event)
The KBCA is reviving street parties as a way to meet your neighbours and build community.
There has been a large turnover in the neighbourhood since 2019, and with COVID-19 limiting contact, many new residents have not had the chance to meet their neighbours.
So, it’s time to kick-start them as regular events for which the ideal dates are between May 15 to June 15 or Sept 1 to the first weekend in October.

The KBCA is ready and willing to help with organizing, but this really has to be an event organized by and for the residents of a street or collection/cluster of streets.
We have a number of documents and templates to help (click :

- Street Party Handout/Flyer Example A - Black and White (ms Word file)
- Street Party Handout/Flyer Example A - colour (ms Word file)

To promote your event, the KBCA will also print off a customized version of our 3' by 2' signs for posting in your communities (example, below). The fields which can customized are shown in angle brackets "< >"
The KBCA is making a $150 grant available to any street/cluster organizing group for food, printing, recyclable cutlery, plates and glasses, and games/toys for the kids (or any other reasonable expense, not including alcohol).
