Connect with Neighbors
The Ward 5 Facebook page is your go-to hub for community news, event updates, and neighborhood discussions. Engage with fellow residents, share your thoughts, and stay informed about what’s happening in our local area.
Nextdoor is a private social network where Ward 5 neighbors connect to exchange information, recommend local services, and discuss neighborhood concerns. It’s a great way to stay in the loop and collaborate on community initiatives.
Happy New Year!!
As we head into 2026, I’ve been thinking a lot about St. Albans and the people who make it feel like home.
What I keep coming back to is how much community really matters; checking in on neighbors, sharing what’s going on, having real conversations, and looking out for one another. None of that is flashy, but it’s what makes a place feel safer, more hopeful, and worth investing in.
This year, I want to keep showing up, listening, and staying connected in the ways that matter; whether that’s a quick message, a conversation at the store, or hearing about something that could be better.
I’m hopeful about where St. Albans is headed, and I’m grateful to be part of a community that cares as deeply as it does.
Here’s to a healthy, safe, and steady 2026 for our city.
