Community development<\/h2><\/div>
The central goal of community development for CRCS is to foster community-led development of sustainable, empowered, and connected communities in the Capital Region. We endeavour to enrich our neighbourhoods through engaging and supporting those who are best placed to affect meaningful change.<\/span><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#cd2126″][vc_column][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=”114″ el_class=”red-menu subtitle-menu “][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” bg_type=”bg_color” css=”.vc_custom_1714975459217{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]As part of Capital Region Community Services\u2019 commitment to building inclusive and connected communities across the Capital Region, we strive to support new and existing initiatives driven by passionate community members. We work closely with community members to promote, support, and grow a variety of locally driven projects, groups, activities, initiatives, and events.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]We strive to assist communities to stand on their own two feet. Our focus is on community-led and directed initiatives that provide an opportunity for the community to express their goals, ideas, and purpose through action from within, and not imposed from outside. Community Development is about building and strengthening communities so they will be best positioned to service their community members.[\/vc_column_text]
