The NeighbourGood Welcome Bag is available to support residents and community groups to welcome new people to their neighbourhoods, blocks or buildings.

The Welcome Bags are filled with materials that will be useful for a new neighbour, including a free swim pass, admission to Storybook Gardens, Resource Maps and so much more!
Feel free to customize your bag before passing it along.
 
We have made some changes to the Welcome Bag program for 2024.
Rather than having you come to the Carling Heights Optimist Community Centre to pick up your Welcome Bags, we will now be delivering them to your home.  
 
Deliveries will be made on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month.  
Our team will reach out by email when your Welcome Bags are ready. We aim to complete your request within 7 business days.
If you need further help, please contact us at 519-661-5336 or neighbourgood@london.ca
