This Saturday: The Great Neighbourly (online!) Garage Sale
It’s that time of year when we rummage in the garage for Christmas decorations and camping gear but instead find random items we forgot we owned. Perhaps it’s finally time to get rid of those and make some cash? Or pick up something you need?
The Great Neighbourly (online!) Garage Sale is this Saturday and we can't wait! The site will be brimming with both gently-loved goods and potential Christmas gifts.
To take part, simply upload a photo of your item(s) to Neighbourly’s Market section before Saturday. Make sure you come back on Saturday to browse the treasures listed from other members around your neighbourhood.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
