A Vital Conversation gathers residents together from across our community for a big, broad consultation and brainstorming event. Vital Conversations 2018 (held October 4th) explored community issues, opportunities, and solutions related to these nine pillars (for more detailed information, relevant links are attached):
- Gap Between Rich and Poor
- Health
- Safety
- Learning https://www.mhc.ab.ca/Services;
- Housing
- Getting Started/Belonging
- Creative and Active Living https://www.tourismmedicinehat.com/city-pages.asp?CityID=2
- Business, Employment & Economy
- Community Builders
The information and data gathered at Vital Conversation 2018 will help guide the strategic planning and service delivery of many of our community’s service providers and charities, as well as guide our Community Foundation for future granting priorities.
A Vital Conversation Report will be distributed throughout the area in early 2019. It will have an electronic and print reach of over 3500. Initial information gathered can be found below;
