Story sharing has begun!

Throughout the fall there will be opportunities to share your story and contribute to the Community Asset Map of relationships, places, resources and activities that help us feel like we belong in Montpelier — and the gaps that need to be filled.

Join one or more of the events below to share your story and help Montpelier reveal the bridges that connect us, and the bridges we need to build so everyone feels they can belong here.
