Building Community Solutions -
Phase Two
Study Circle Outcomes & Report
Phase II of the Building Community Solutions project was focused on implementing a Study Circle process in the community. Study Circles were created in 15 neighbourhoods and included 8 - 15 participants over a period of 4 weeks who shared their ideas and dreams for their neighbourhoods. The process resulted in a comprehensive document - Study Circles Report that outlined visions and action plans for each neighbourhoods.
The attached report summarizes the outcomes of this process and can be viewed and downloaded using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
