Building Community Solutions - Phase One

Identifying the Issues

Phase I of the Building Community Solutions project began in January 2002 and was completed in the spring of 2002.

A Steering Committee with diverse representation was recruited from the community. With the help of a consultant, the Steering Committee identified key indicators in the areas of population demographics, economic factors, children and youth, education, housing, health, environmental factors, community participation, and public safety. The consultants researched the indicators and produced a Community Impact Profile (CIP) entitled Snapshot 2002 which provides baseline data on many aspects of community life:

·         Population characteristics

·         Economic indicators

·         Children, youth, adults and seniors

·         Education

·         Housing

·         Health

·         Environment

·         Public safety

Following completion of the Community Impact Profile, a community forum was held to identify next steps.  This marked the beginning of Phase Two.
