Collaborative Initiatives

"The Community Social Planning Council is one of those organizations that I truly believe has changed the face of this community since it’s inception in the 1930’s. This organization has stayed true to its grassroots history while boldly participating in the mainstream world of governments, NGO’s and academia – an approach to be applauded and modeled. The Council has improved the lives of residents of the Capital Region as it aspires to in its mandate and has done so with compassion, courage and most importantly, continuity."

Sonya Chandler, Councillor, City of Victoria
