We strive to make this community and this city a better place to be. Along with providing programs, services and a supportive public space, we also have a role in creating a society in which everyone has an equal chance of health and success.

We do this by identifying areas of focus for our work, and by:

• Developing programs that benefit individuals, build community and support positive social change – all at the same time!
• Using and strengthening local knowledge, skills and resources
• Linking local issues with larger systemic issues
• Working with like-minded people and groups
• Being proactive and thinking outside of the box
• Bringing people together across traditional boundaries to take action

Discrimination, hunger, housing access, employment, status and many other factors are often key barriers for residents to being active in our community. We believe that addressing issues of access, equity, racism, food security and employment are fundamental to our work. To find out more about how we do this, click below:
