volunteering at the north shore neighbourhood house North Shore Neighbourhood House (NSNH) has had a strong tradition of volunteering for 70 years. As our community expands, that volunteer spirit has grown to include the John Braithwaite Community Centre (JBCC). NSNH partners in delivering social, recreational and child care services at John Braithwaite Community Centre. Today, volunteers at both locations make the North Shore a friendly and caring community. There are numerous opportunities for volunteering at both NSNH and JBCC.

EDIBLE GARDEN PROJECT The Edible Garden Project (EGP) is working to address urban social and environmental issues by creating a community network that grows and shares local food and by promoting sustainable regional agriculture. We serve gardeners in need of skills and garden space, people with garden space and produce to share and marginalized members of the community who benefit not only from access to healthy home grown foods, but also from programming aimed at engaging and empowering vulnerable populations to grow their own. From Group Gardening sessions where volunteers can get their hands dirty, to GardenSmart workshops to school programs the EGP is working to promote local healthy food. The EGP has been operating out of the North Shore Neighbourhood House since its inception in 2006.
