The Penhorn/Woodlawn Community Liaison Group was formed in September 2008 as part of VisionHRM, a community-led initiative supported by HRM which gives residents an opportunity to think creatively about what is possible for their community as a whole 10, 15, 20 years into the future. The CLG is tasked with leading a community engagement process and developing a Vision and Action Plan for the community.
