The Federation of Urban Neighbourhoods (Ontario) came into being at a founding meeting hosted by the Durand Neighbourhood Association of Hamilton on November 24, 2001. This province-wide umbrella organization of community and neighbourhood associations stemmed from common ground found during May’s “Shaping Ontario’s Neighbourhoods 2001” Symposium also hosted by Durand in Hamilton.
Community Associations from Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton, Guelph and London are charter members of this fledgling organization. The objectives of F.U.N. are to promote awareness of urban issues, undertake projects which will enhance quality of life for residents of urban settings, establish a resource base for information, share expertise, represent the common interests of member organizations before public and private bodies as well as to encourage citizens to actively participate in and become informed about community and civic affairs.
