St. John's Approach

Vibrant Communities – St. John’s is a community based initiative that works collaboratively with voluntary, non profits, all levels of government, businesses and especially with people who live with low income/poverty. We connect partners and people to increase community engagement, capacity building and partnership development and we seek to assist at least 1500 households on the journey out of poverty by 2012. Through shared learning and dialogue, we work collaboratively to develop programs, shape policies and seek solution-focused actions that are helping to reduce poverty in our community.

Canadian Stories for the Olympics

Vibrant Communities St. John’s and the Department of Recreation for the City of St. John's worked with Canada CODE (Cultural Olympiads Digital Edition) in January to help St. John’s residents  contribute to a digital scrapbook and collaborative art project which has been part of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Residents attended a free workshop to create digital stories about "What it means to be a Canadian”.  Check out some of the stories here.
