CommDev Creates With Purpose
The articles, manuals, reports, presentations and documentaries on this site are produced to share knowledge and leverage success – give community development practitioners and community leaders an opportunity to learn from each others experience. The hope is to make this a source of motivation and inspiration for community change!
Two-fold Work
To develop best practice in various key aspects of community development such as crime prevention, safety, green space and neighbourhood restoration.
* To support the establishment of new, innovative community development models and relevant tools for the front-line staff and community leaders, with an explicit approach to sharing innovations and helping replication of successful approaches elsewhere.
Objectives
* Help community members get involved in a collaborative effort to address their local problems.
* Make available community development tools, information and other resources required to bring about focused changes to their neighbourhoods.
* Better equip community leaders and front-line staff of social service agencies to become meaningfully engaged in social development, crime prevention, community safety and other locally directed community change strategies.
* Put a continuum of community development strategies in place for problem solving at local neighbourhood level.
* Help various agencies collaborate effectively and work in an integrated manner to deliver social, health and other community services to individual Canadians.
