Mission & Mandate
The mission of the Seaton Village Residents' Association (SVRA) is to advocate for the needs and interests of our community, provide educational resources and opportunities, and foster a strong sense of community among residents. You will find a brief history by SVRA member Heather Sloman on our Home page.
SVRA's mandate is to remain non-partisan, inclusive, and focused on neighbourhood issues that directly impact its residents. It serves as a forum, encouraging residents to engage in preserving and enhancing the area's unqiue characteristics as a livable urban neighbourhood.
The SVRA evaluates, recommends, and advocates for measures, including but not limited to federal, provincial, and municipal legislation, regulations, policies, and procedures that benefit the long-term interests of the area and its residents. Ultimately, it aims to be a credible, influential, and representative voice for Seaton Village.
