Each year, the Mayor’s Community Safety Team conducts engagements across the city preparing the “Summer Safety Plan”. In 2024, we heard from community members that they often felt out of the loop as far as  being informed about what was happening in their neighborhood once summer came around. 

As a direct response, the Community Safety Team began to organize Village Vibes. These events are meant to bring community members together in places central to the neighborhood, and by having City departments alongside neighborhood-specific groups, we can make sure residents are informed about everything from speedbumps to summer camps well ahead of time. 

Village Vibes are about bringing together community members, and uplifting from the sense of familiarity and trust that neighbors bring to continue to keep our neighborhoods safe and informed. 

If you'd like your organization to be represented at this event, sign up for Village Vibes in your neighborhood, submit your information via the Google Forms Link below.
