Blueridge Good Neighbour Day is an annual event (since 1998!) celebrating everything great about our little neighbourhood. With food and activities for everyone, it’s a great chance to get out and meet your neighbours. It’s even in the news!

Remember to bring some cash for food and a few other places where money is needed. Cash is preferred to keep things simple!
Also, it may be warm so bring a water bottle with you to stay hydrated!
Music
Music this year will be by Wishbone, a North Vancouver five-piece band steeped in classic-rock favourites and newer dance hits. And they are looking for dancers! Come join the fun!
Opening will be The Drink Tickets, another Vancouver band!
Melnyk Financial Planning and Investments | The Co-operators will be sponsoring Wishbone at Blueridge Good Neighbour Day.
Thanks for your generous contribution to our event!
Volunteers Needed
BGND is run by a dedicated team of volunteers who work hard to create a fun-filled day for the whole family. If you’d like to help make this happen, we need you!
If you can help organize, please join our committee! We meet once a month. You can help out on one of the many very important jobs to make this community event happen! Contact us at bgnd@blueridgeca.org and we’ll get you connected.
If you’d rather help on the day for an hour or two, contact us at volunteer@blueridgeca.org. This includes the Parade, Youth Activities, Concessions and more. You can also help organise ahead of time with a few emails or calls! This would include the Silent Auction and Community Tables.
Every volunteer counts! No help is too small!
Silent Auction
One of the big events at BGND is the silent auction, where visitors bid for great items donated by local businesses and residents. Each year the silent auction helps pay the expenses of running the event, and 2024 is no exception. Here are some examples
We look forward to seeing you there!
