The first village helpers started in the municipality of Janakkala in 2022. A village helper is a link between a new resident and the village. You can call the village helper and ask about things that concern you, such as where to find the best skiing trails, how to get involved in the village association’s activities, or whom to ask about firewood. The village helper activity can be customized to your liking, and there can be one or more village helpers in the village.
