Volunteer Opportunity: Woodside Community Visioning

(Friday, September 10, 2010) - HRM is recruiting residents of the Woodside area to become part of the volunteer Community Liaison Group (CLG).

As a member of the CLG you will be part of a team that will guide and champion a community driven process to develop a 25-year Vision and Action Plan for Woodside. Visioning involves residents working with local government to identify priorities. It is one of the tools used by HRM to guide future decisions and it helps citizens continue to undertake their own local initiatives.

Members of the CLG will be able to make a volunteer commitment of up to one year (8-10 hours each month). Some of the responsibilities include:

• Taking part in an orientation/ training session
• Helping develop and lead a public engagement process that reflects the diversity of the Woodside area
• Building on the area's strengths
• Preparing and presenting the Draft Vision & Action Plan to the Regional Planning Advisory Committee and Halifax Regional Council

The deadline for applications is September 24, 2010. All applicants will be contacted once the application forms reviewed.
