The current Neighbourhood Window Walk theme is Easter Eggs. It’s fun to display egg-squisite eggs-pressions and outdoor eggs-ercise is recommended.

Kids Help Phone has some great information on coping strategies:
• How to cope with social distancing during COVID-19
• We’re here for you
• How to cope with triggering news stories

Here are some other helpful resources:

Delivery of the Deer Ridge Journal monthly newsletter has been temporarily halted. April’s edition can be found by selecting “Newsletter” from the main menu or clicking here.

The current theme is flowers. To get into the spirit, we’ve placed lawn signs out n’ about in the community. Can you find them all?  Brighten the day with your flowers. Share photos of #NeighbourhoodWindowWalk.

We love this idea! Have fun connecting with the community by posting pictures in front window. The current theme is encouraging words. Enjoy a walkabout and see how many you can find.

March 26th: Encouraging Words, March 29th: Flowers, April 1st: Jokes!, April 4th: Easter Eggs
