Vibrant Communities Go Social
Vibrant Communities across Canada are increasingly using Twitter, Facebook and other social media to engage, and be engaged by their communities. Starting in January 2010, Vibrant Communities Calgary began using social media to build awareness about poverty issues – in plenty of time for municipal elections in October. Candidates and people living in poverty in Calgary are taking advantage of the opportunity to learn more about each other. Read more on how Vibrant Calgary Rides the Social Media Wave in this Caledon Institute Community Story.
