Cashmere Residents’ Association

The Cashmere Residents’ Association is a group of residents who act as a liaison between the community of Cashmere and outside parties such as the City Council, Regional Council and government agencies.

“A prerequisite of representing and advocating for the community is understanding the community – what they value, what they want changed, what outcomes they want for their community and the city”

Thank you to all speakers and CRA members who attended and made our 2011 AGM successful. Thank you especially to all those who helped get our newsletter out. Two times a year, it is this effort in particular that draws our local community together, as one, like no other activity. Let us keep up this fine work of regularly building neighbourliness together, for resolving local issues.
