Building Vibrant Neighbourhoods with Powerful Communities - Toronto

"Jim Diers believes that neighbours can generate tremendous power when they come together as a community.

Find out how we can: influence the actions of government, developers, and other external forces and mobilize our own assets—our passion, knowledge, skills, and relationships—in support of revitalized neighbourhoods, caring communities, and a better world.

Jim Diers has a passion for building neighbour power. He served as the Director of Seattle’s Department of Neighborhoods for 14 years creating a national model for planning and development powered by neighbours."

This event took place on Tuesday September 17 2013 at Monarch Park Collegiate, it was sponsored by DECA and Woodgreen.
