Equal parts inspiration, perspiration, and information — a book that is sure to take the Vibrant Communities story to new heights as it begins its next exciting phase.In Canada, ‘poverty reduction’ is no longer a ‘wouldn’t it be nice’ dream discussed after yet another failure to make a dent in an age-old problem. It’s a living, breathing, exhilarating reality.
Why?
Because all across the country people are approaching poverty in a positive, creative, and energetic way. They are doing so courtesy of a new social phenomenon called Vibrant Communities: a network of people who are getting people together — citizens (no matter what their income), community developers, business people, and representatives from all levels of government — to determine needs, community assets, and strategies. They’re putting plans into action with astonishing results.
This book tells their story. And perhaps yours, too.
