HCIA AGM – Harnessing the Extraordinary Power of Ordinary People

About the HCIA 2018 AGM

The 2018 HICA AGM was held September 27, 2018 at Lord Dufferin Retirement Residences and it was a celebration of community, partners and projects!

Speakers for the event shared stories and strategies to illustrate what becomes possible when citizens, organizations and municipalities discover how to work effectively together to create innovative solutions to our community’s toughest issues. Kimberly Van Ryn from ALAS Dufferin (Active Lives After School) shared photos and statements from their clients who have developed new skills while helping our community through volunteering. Our own, Sylvia Cheuy delivered the keynote presentation about Asset-Based Community Development. ABCD uncovers the untapped potential of residents and connects it in ways that strengthens the community’s capacity to care for one another.

The HCIA Leadership Council would like to thank all of our partners, supporters and cheerleaders. It’s all about community!
