The Profile Event - Friday Evening
The Profile event starts off generally with a pot luck supper on the
evening of the first day. After presentations by the Steering Committee,
the lead facilitator takes the community participants through a variety
of exercises (see sample agenda).
As a large group, they are asked to share their positive or negative
feelings about what their community is like now and what they would like
the community to be like in the future. All responses are recorded for
inclusion in the final report.
The facilitator then introduces components of a successful community,
as detailed above:
- Effective Community Leadership
- Informed Citizen Participation
- Sense of Community
- Fostering Healthy Families, Individuals and Youth
- Lifelong Education and Learning
- Community Services, Facilities, and Utilities
- Recreation and Cultural Heritage Working
- Landscape and the Natural Environment
- Economic Vitality Growth and Development
- Transportation
