There have been many projects led by the Good Neighbours Committee in its 20+ year history. Many other smaller programs are listed in our blog, but here are some summaries of the larger projects of the GNC.

Active Witnessing / Bystander Intervention
Project Year: 2024
Category: Active Witnessing
Led by Aisha Kiani, founder of I Dream Library, these workshops were rooted in transformative justice and involved discussion about community inclusion values and setting boundaries, learning about the historical and present-day context that has normalized oppression, and prompted forum theatre to practice intervention methods addressing the behaviour rather than the person. Online community aftercare sessions were held for participants to share ongoing experiences, feedback, challenges, and successes.
