Welcome to Strong Richmond Hill
Congratulations—and thank you for joining us.
A stronger city is built by residents who learn, talk, show up, and take action together. Here are four simple ways to begin.
By joining STRH, you have taken a small but meaningful step toward a more financially resilient, safer, more walkable, and more people-focused Richmond Hill. We are glad to have you with us.
Learn the ideas
Start by educating yourself. Read the books and articles on our website to understand the ideas behind Strong Towns and how they apply to Richmond Hill.
A great place to begin is Charles “Chuck” Marohn’s Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity. It explains why many cities struggle financially and how practical, incremental action can help rebuild stronger communities.
Start a conversation
Talk with your friends, family, and neighbours about the issues shaping Richmond Hill. Whenever possible, have the conversation in person—over coffee, on a walk, or at a local gathering.
Social media can help too. Share an article, ask a question, and listen to what other residents are experiencing. You do not need to have all the answers. Curiosity is a powerful way to begin.
Stay connected
Follow Strong Richmond Hill on the social-media platforms you use most. Our channels are where we share local news, explainers, events, campaigns, and opportunities to get involved.
You will find the links in this page’s footer.
Find your project. Lend a hand.
Put your interest in Richmond Hill into action. Help assess welcoming places with Made for People, make council voting records searchable with Council Compass, improve everyday trips with Safe Streets RH, or tell the stories of local small-business owners through Downtown Heroes.
Bring your curiosity, local knowledge, or skills in research, mapping, writing, photography, video, or design. You do not need to be an expert. Start with one task—and meet other residents through our walks, meetings, and gatherings.
Read. Talk. Show up. Take action.
Strong communities are built one conversation, one relationship, and one practical step at a time. Thank you for helping make Richmond Hill stronger.
