Community Foundation Grey Bruce Checks Vital Signs

A grant-maker and public charity in Grey-Bruce is hosting public meetings this week to shape the direction of its upcoming Vital Signs Project.

Vital Signs is a national initiative being adopted by Community Foundation Grey Bruce. It's a tool for community goal-setting, promoting civic engagement, and measuring community well-being.

The public meetings will start discussion around areas of interest that may be studied further. Categories including education, employment, housing, transportation, poverty, food security, and the environment.

The first meeting is tonight (Wednesday) at the Harmony Centre on 4th Ave. E in Owen Sound. The second meeting is Thursday night at Wes For Youth Online, on Park St, in Walkerton. Both public meetings start at 7pm.

"We are extremely conscious that community input is an integral part of the success of this project. The public can help us focus our lens as we dig deep into local issues," says Kimberley West, chair of the Community Foundation Grey Bruce. "We hope that the meetings will offer unique insight and vision as we move forward as a community."
