This trailer includes all the essentials (and then some) to make hosting your own neighbourhood block party easy! 

  • BBQ, cooking tools, and cleaning supplies (propane NOT included)

  • Canopy tent

  • Cooler and beverage dispenser

  • Tables (6) and chairs (20)

  • USB compatible stereo

  • Bocce, croquet, bean bag toss and more

  • We recommend that you use a driveway, cul de sac, or side of a quiet street so you don't need a road closure.

  • If you do want to close your street to traffic you will need to obtain a separate permit. 

  • Not sure? Contact Family & Community Support Services (FCSS) - we are happy to help you problem solve!

  • Drop off is before 4:30 p.m. the day of your event, or on a Friday for weekend bookings. Need the trailer earlier? Please mention to FCSS when you book. 

  • We will pick up the trailer the day after your event, or on a Monday, for weekend bookings.

  • The Block Party Trailer can be booked a maximum of 6 months prior to your event.

  • Return your kit the following day before noon, or on a Monday, for weekend bookings.

Neighbourhood Travelling Plate

The travelling neighbourhood plate is about connecting with neighbours, giving and random acts of kindness. The idea is to fill the plate with special treats, pass it along to a neighbour- ideally to someone you don’t know well. That neighbour enjoys the gift and does the same for another neighbour. It is one small (but very powerful) way to Do Good in Your ‘Hood!

Supplies (platter, sharpie markers and baking instructions) are available at the Town of Canmore FCSS office located in the Civic Centre at 902-7 Avenue.  Please come by, pick up your supplies and start this wonderful project in your own neighbourhood! Or take part in our upcoming workshops!
