Community Visioning Kicks Off in Middle Sackville

(Tuesday, May 27, 2008) - Halifax Regional Municipality is hosting a VisionHRM kick off event in Middle Sackville on Thursday, May 29th.

VisionHRM is a community-led initiative. Community Visioning provides an informal opportunity for communities to think creatively about how they could function, how they might change, and what they might look like over a 25-year time frame. Some of the ways residents may get involved include volunteering as a member of a Community Liaison Group or participating in hands-on learning through community-based workshops and informal community meetings.

Fall River, Musquodoboit Harbour, and the Bedford Waterfront area were the first communities to participate in the Community Visioning process. Their Visions and Action Plans were endorsed by Regional Council in Fall 2007, and the communities are now entering the implementation stage.

Date:       Thursday, May 29th

Time:       6:30 - 9:00 pm (informal reception 6:30 - 7:00)

Location: Sackville Heights Community Centre, 45 Connolly Road, Lower Sackville

Refreshments will be provided.
