Who is HCIA?

Headwaters Communities in Action (HCIA) is a citizens group that fosters leadership and action in support of a long-term vision of community well-being for the Headwaters Region. We do this by helping to inform and engage citizens about issues affecting the well-being of our community. By hosting community conversations and encouraging people from different sectors and municipalities to work together, we help to coordinate effective responses to shared issues.

WHAT DO WE DO?

Since our inception in late 2004, HCIA has been a convener of community conversations.  We provide citizens with information about emerging issues and opportunities and also support the start-up of collaborative projects that enhance community well-being.

OUR VISION

Engaged citizens shaping a vibrant, sustainable and resilient community together.

OUR MISSION
