“Taking Action…YOUR community YOUR way”
by  erica.laneNo presence information  on 9/2/2014 10:32 AM

​During Wellness Week, October 1st-7th 2014, the Fundy Wellness Network will be building on the highly successful 2013 Jim Diers workshop by hosting Part 2: “Taking Action…YOUR community YOUR way” on Thursday, October 2nd, 2014. This workshop is a great opportunity to build on your assets and the skills of local residents to strengthen existing community initiatives and to build stronger and more sustainable communities for the future.

Jim Diers, author of “Neighbor Power: Building Community the Seattle Way” is well known for his asset based community development workshops and has provided a range from two hour sessions to two day sessions As Jim says, “Neighbors can generate tremendous power when they come together as a community. They can influence the actions of government, developers, and other external forces. They can also mobilize their own assets—their passion, knowledge, skills, and relationships—in support of caring communities, revitalized neighborhoods, and a better world.” 
 
The full day workshop will be held at the HMCS Brunswicker and you can come and learn how to help our communities come together and promote wellness.  Lunch and light refreshments will be provided with the registration fee ($30).
 
Following the workshop, there will be an evening celebration to honor our Wellness Champions and Mr. Jim Diers will provide us with a wonderful keynote address.  For more information, please go to www.fundywellness.ca.
