Block Parties & Block Buddies

Thank you to our sponsors: Town of Drumheller, Drumheller Family Community Support Services and the Aviva Community Fund

Block Parties

The purpose of the Block Buddy and Block Party programs are to build connections and relationships between neighbours living on the same street. 

A community's most valuable resources are its people, and the Town supports the Block Buddy and Block Party programs through planning, operations and permitting support. 

The Block Party Trailer Agreement now includes a symbolic $1 rental fee. A $100 damage deposit is required to cover any potential damages. The damage deposit will be refunded after a thorough inspection of the trailer. Refunds may take some time to process, so users should plan accordingly.

Block Parties are a fantastic way to connect with neighbours and build community. Parties can be hosted year-round, may have different themes or even become an annual event. The possibilities are endless! Contact us if you are interested in hosting, or attending a Block Party in your area!

Block Buddies

Block Buddies connect with their neighbours, welcome new residents to the neighbourhood and help increase a sense of belonging in the community. Let us connect you with a Block Buddy in your area, or consider becoming one! It's a great way to meet your new neighbours. Training and support provided.

Stay tuned for upcoming Block Buddy training opportunities!
