Thank you Shine-LA! (October 24, 2026)

Created by Mayor Bass, Shine LA is a movement that strengthens communities by bringing Angelenos together from across the city to beautify LA neighborhoods. With major global events just around the corner – the 2027 Super Bowl and 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games – Shine LA inspires Angelenos to take pride in preparing their communities to step onto the world stage. 

Since launching in April, Shine LA has brought together more than 2,000 Angelenos for a day of service in more than 30 neighborhoods across Los Angeles. From San Pedro, Koreatown, Pacoima, Hollywood, to Sherman Oaks and South LA, volunteers have participated in activities such as tree planting, utility box painting, loose litter pick-up to educational programming on composting. 

Shine LA is every fourth Saturday of the month in neighborhoods across Los Angeles. 

Together – LA Shines! 

Today, October 24th, 2026, the Sylmar Neighborhood Council was honored to be one of the many community partners participating in a wonderful Pet Resource Fair and Adoption event. There were so many happy dogs and cats, and some unhappy ones after getting their vaccinations. Soon, all tails were wagging as the adopt-me Halloween costume contest made its way through the crowds!
