What is a neighbourhood? An area determined by streets, a community bound together by a common tax roll, a mix of homes and businesses with a shared history? Some of the above, all of the above?
The Record is taking a closer look at the city’s 11 unique neighbourhoods in this special series. This week, we cover Sapperton. We hope to give those who have called this city their home for quite a while, and those who have just unloaded the moving van, a fresh look at their neighbourhood.
The names and boundaries developed 40 years ago continue today, and those 11 neighbourhoods all have their own residents’ associations.
They each differ, offering advantages and challenges, but they have a common thread – a unique character. And, if you’ve been in the city for a bit, you might also say each neighbourhood has true loyalists and boosters.
We don’t want to reignite old whose ‘hood is better arguments – but let’s just say it’s better not to dis anyone’s neighbourhood in this fine city.
