HALIFAX – Let’s talk about our community assets!

Come join the Turning Leaf Centre (TLC) for a Community Asset Mapping workshop. The TLC is a newly formed grass roots non-profit organization with a vision to create innovative educational programs and sustainable community models that link rural and urban populations. The Community Asset Mapping workshop will be the organizations first public event in Halifax, NS; the organizations leads are looking forward to connecting with a vibrant community of progressive minds.

What are Community Assets? The Falls Brook Centre defines community assets as   “natural, built, social, economic, service or they can be intangible like the work of volunteers, people’s skills and expertise” (Falls Brook Centre). Likely most of the information gathered by TLC will be used to further the mandate of the organization and to network for rural development opportunities, but there are also many other innovative urban possibilities looming from such an exciting community exercise. Come find out what they could be.
