EASTERN SHORE MUSQUODOBOIT COMMUNITY HEALTH BOARD

Artsy Fartsy - ESMCHB - Who Are The People In Your Neighbourhood

Welcome to the “Who Are the People in Your Neighbourhood Project”!

At the Eastern Shore Musquodoboit Community Health Board, we believe that strong connections with our neighbours are vital—not just in emergencies, but for our overall well-being. Let’s bring back the spirit of community, supporting each other through good times and tough ones. After all, we could all use a little more connection!



What Is a Neighbourhood?

A neighborhood is typically a group of 6-20 homes closest to you.
