Capacity Building We hope to involve residents to know how to interact with itheir local government. We believe members of the public will feel more comfortable about getting involved and speaking up when they have a general understanding of how the process works and when they know others involved in their local government. Strategic Planning As an increasingly diverse and aging suburb, our community is rapidly changing. New people, often with different customs, cultures or lifestyles are moving in. We hope to create opportunities for people to come together in a respectful environment to discuss concerns and gain a better understanding of how to effect improvements through the democratic process. Social Justice The Human Rights Commission hopes to create more opportunities for open discussions and to empower our residents to speak up when they see injustices. Education and Outreach Describe your involvement in this area. How does it relate to capacity building development and/or activity development, for example. VJe hope to engage new people in our civic engagement efforts. The HRC has hosted two community forums and have engaged a diverse group in planning and participating in these forums. We are looking to expand that outreach through connections we've made there as well as through the schools, civic organizations, businesses, churches and individuals who have expressed interest in greater involvement. Contractor/Vendor Identify any proposed contractor(s)/vendor(s) if known. We do not know who the specific vendor for civic engagement will be.
