Why this Exhibit?

“There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.” – Margaret J. Wheatley

This exhibit was created to inspire you, to help you imagine what might be possible in your own community by exploring what is happening in others.

Researchers and communities across Northern Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan have been working together to learn more about how the economic and social well being of communities can be improved. The organizations you see profiled here illustrate what it means to build community. Think about your own community as you travel through the displays. How does it compare? Imagine what your community could be. Think about how you can make that dream come true.
