[fruitful_tab title=”Lifestyle”] Westland, despite being Michigan’s tenth largest city, populated with 84,000 residents and very urban in appearance, has that quintessential “small town” feel. In Westland neighbors know their neighbors; we bump into acquaintances in the grocer, at the (Westland) Mall, and at the gas station. These attributes are but one reason why Westland has embraced the Compassionate Cities movement. Westland residents support Relay for Life to fight cancer. We support Mission Green and recycle to be good stewards of Mother Earth. We volunteer our time planting and maintain the community garden so the less fortunate can enjoy fresh and healthy vegetables. Over 300 of us came together to join Buddy Shuh’s Biggest Loser weight loss regimen because we realized that together we could achieve success better than we could alone. We share a desire to be part of something larger than us and to do it together.
