Meet YOUR Monterey Park Elected Officials...

Message from the PresidentHello Neighbours and Friends,

Monterey Park is a wonderful place to live and to raise our families, and we want to keep it that way. This summer, let us recommit to being great neighbours by ensuring our lawns and

weeds are well groomed, keeping our garbage and recycling bins in our back yards during the week and by only putting them out on the day of garbage pick-up. Small but importantsteps like these go a long way to increasing the beauty of Monterey Park, demonstrating community pride and making sure we are being good responsible and thoughtful neighbours

to the families living around us. Thank you, and have a great summer everyone! -Lisa
