"Equal parts inspiration, perspiration, and information -- a book
that is sure to take the Vibrant Communities story to new heights
as it begins its next exciting phase."
In Canada, "poverty reduction" is no longer a "wouldn't it be
nice" dream discussed after yet another failure to make a dent in
an age-old problem. It's a living, breathing, exhilarating
reality.
Why?
Because all across the country people are approaching poverty in
a positive, creative, and energetic way. They are doing so courtesy
of a new social phenomenon called Vibrant Communities: a network of
people who are getting people together - citizens (no matter what
their income), community developers, business people, and
representatives from all levels of government -- to determine
needs, community assets, and strategies. They're putting plans into
action with astonishing results.
This book tells their story. And perhaps yours, too.
