Summary
"This document contains a collection of toolkits and other resources that are intended to assist those involved with community-level projects and activities. It was prepared following discussions that took place at a national meeting of senior federal government policy makers and selected academic experts from across Canada. The meeting focused, in general, on issues related to community safety, health and well-being with a particular emphasis being placed on the experiences of children and youth. After broad and wide ranging discussions on the subject, those in attendance noted that various federal government departments had considerable experience working with communities and that many had developed toolkits and other resources to facilitate this work. Identifying and collating this material was seen as an important first step in the creation of a useful resource for those involved with community-level initiatives."--Page 1.
