Coffee Connect at Five Farms
Coffee for Community Conversations
You're invited to Coffee & Community Conversations – a relaxed and friendly gathering to connect, share ideas, and help shape the future of our growing community at Five Farms.
Join us for a cup of coffee and a casual conversation about:
- 🌱 The types of programs and events you'd love to see happening in our neighbourhood
- 🤝 What the formation of a community group could look like and how you can get involved
- 🏡 A chance to meet new neighbours, make connections, and build a stronger sense of community
Whether you're new to the area or a long-time local, your voice matters.
Come along, share your thoughts, and help create the kind of community we all want to be part of.
