Shift the Conversation: Community vitality
 Community vitality looks at the social relationships that foster individual and collective wellbeing. A vital community is inclusive, safe, nurtures a sense of belonging, and is able to adapt and thrive in the changing world. The neighbourhood one lives in affects the quality of life for individuals and families. This week we showcase how Centretown Community Health Centre has nurtured community vitality through the revitalization of Dundonalds Park. |
