A Call to Action:
Building Partnerships for Safer Communities
May 28-30, 2012 / Hotel Saskatchewan, Regina, SK
About
Even with strong economic and population growth, many of our communities are experiencing challenges that affect the ability of citizens to participate in community life. The Call to Action symposium will bring together a cross-section of groups, organizations and individuals who can make a difference in fostering safer communities. Through interactive panel discussions, workshops and presentations, the symposium will encourage participants to share insight, information and ideas; identify community assets and needs; discuss how successful models can be adapted to address local situations; and develop tools and networks of contacts to support community change.
