We are committed to loving and serving our neighbours as part of our desire to build up a community that cares for one another. We demonstrate this commitment through a range of Bannerman initiatives. Bannerman Partners Our commitment is to be a community partner. Bannerman Partners is a group of community leaders, business owners, and service providers working together for the good of the Bannerman Community. This group meets monthly to discuss community events and strategy, in addition to supporting a wide range of initiatives throughout the year. For more details, please email here to contact the chair of Bannerman Partners, Cris Harper. Bannerman Connects is a group of volunteers committed to linking resources within the community with the needs of others.
