Envision a thriving community

What's your vision of a thriving community? I imagine:

Shared prosperity and opportunity

Active community relationships and networks

Our public infrastructure, such as our education, health care and social service systems, has enough resources to meet the community's urgent and basic needs

Our community is open, inclusive and welcoming to all citizens, visitors and newcomers

Our citizens are responsible, respected, safe and care for one another

People are tied to their culture and spirituality - cultural strengths are learned, heritage is celebrated and traditions are shared

Our citizens are curious, entrepreneurial, creative and motivated in mind, heart and spirit to use their skills and talents to stregthen our community and local economy

Our community leadership creates public policies that benefit the common good

What do you imagine?
