Community Development
(Community development as it relates to the development of young people)
Among our priorities in the area of Community Development are:
- Providing opportunities for families to enjoy leisure-time activities that expose young people to new areas of interest and broaden their experiences.
- Supporting communities as they increase business opportunities, provide leadership skill development and promote charitable activities with a strong youth component.
- Ensuring that young people and families have the opportunity to experience local events that cause them to build a strong bond with their community.
