Creating Vibrant Communities. Отсутствует

Equal parts inspiration, perspiration, and information – a book that is sure to take the Vibrant Communities story to new heights as it begins its next exciting phase.In Canada, «poverty reduction» is no longer a «wouldn't it be nice» dream discussed after yet another failure to make a dent in an age-old problem. It's a living, breathing, exhilarating reality.Why?Because all across the country people are approaching poverty in a positive, creative, and energetic way. They are doing so courtesy of a new social phenomenon called Vibrant Communities: a network of people who are getting people together – citizens (no matter what their income), community developers, business people, and representatives from all levels of government – to determine needs, community assets, and strategies. They're putting plans into action with astonishing results.This book tells their story. And perhaps yours, too.
