63. Have a block snowman building party for kids and adults and serve hot chocolate. 64. Have a back lane clean-up neighbourhood event. 65. Have a street party that becomes a community celebration with games, fun, entertainment, etc. that everyone wants to come to. Involve everyone in the planning including people with visible differences. 66. Offer food for a low price made by different groups e.g. kids make lemonade, ethnic foods, seniors make deserts, etc. 67. Approach your local MLA office and have a conversation with them about possible ideas. 68. Approach your local municipal politicians and planning bureaucrats to develop local programs and public spaces for people to connect. 69. Create multiple ways to engage ordinary citizens in thinking about the ways in which we might work together (individually and collectively) to build connections. 70. Bring together children and my friends with disabilities. 71. Have a block party! 72. Start a block interest group to share news and local information. 73. Engage children in schools in imagining how we might build more connections and then pick several (have the kids pick) ideas and follow up on them. 74. Start a blog. 75. Have children start a collaborative blog. Building the blog together will give them a sense of belonging to one another. Make sure kids whom are really different are a part of this team.
