Getting involved in the City of Greenwood is one of the most impactful ways to make a positive difference. There are countless opportunities to roll up your sleeves and contribute your time, skills and passion to worthy causes.

Volunteer at Greenwood Senior’s Center or join the Greenwood Legion to directly help our elderly and veterans in our community. Organize a community cleanup event to beautify parks, trails and neighborhoods. Become a mentor to a youth by working with either the Greenwood Recreation Association or the Route 3 Racing Club. Participate in fundraisers and events for our Greenwood Library and Greenwood Community Association to help raise money for important programs and services. Visit our museum or volunteer your time to preserve our history with the Greenwood Historical Society. Attend city council meetings and speak up about the issues you care about. Support local businesses through our Greenwood Board of Trade to keep your community economically vibrant.

No matter how you choose to get involved, you'll be making valuable contributions that strengthen the social fabric of our little City, Greenwood. You'll also expand your own network, develop new skills, and gain a deep sense of personal satisfaction from helping to build a thriving, connected place to live. Don't underestimate the power of individual actions to add up to meaningful change.

Being the Mayor, from the smallest incorporated City in Canada, we cannot do it alone as your municipal government. I need you to get out there, get involved, and help drive your community forward.

Furthermore, as the Mayor of the City of Greenwood, I implore all citizens to actively engage in the various components of our Communication Strategy. Your participation is vital, especially in our Town Halls and Coffee with Council sessions. These forums provide invaluable opportunities for open dialogue, enabling you to voice your concerns, share your ideas, and contribute to shaping the future of our beloved city.

The City Councillors, dedicated staff, and I are unwavering in our commitment to upholding the principles of transparent and accountable governance. We recognize the challenges that lie ahead, and it is only through the collective efforts and wisdom of our entire community that we can navigate these trying times and steer Greenwood towards a prosperous future. Your involvement is not merely encouraged; it is essential. Together, let us forge a path forward, built on a foundation of open communication, mutual understanding, and a shared vision for the betterment of our city. Attend the Town Halls, join us for Coffee with Council, and let your voice be heard.

Your insights, experiences, and aspirations are the lifeblood of our community, and together, we can build a stronger, more resilient Greenwood.
