Wakefield “Quality of Life” Results to be Presented

Residents Invited to June 5th Meeting to Vote on Actions
from Community Vitality Initiative (CVI)

Wakefield, Quebec - Citizens of Wakefield will have an opportunity on Monday, June 5th at 7:00 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall to find out what their fellow citizens think of the state of the community and help design and vote on actions to enhance “community vitality” in the community.

Twelve weeks ago, 55 residents of Wakefield responded to a unique questionnaire and focus groups process about everything from the region’s economic state to its environmental health to its support for the arts. The 102-question survey also asked about such things as safety, learning, heritage and culture, leadership, physical space, sense of community, and entrepreneurship in the community.

Hello,
My name is Sandra Thornton and I have just visited this wonderful town and find that
it could easily be a place to live well. I am wondering if there is a need for holistic skin care aromatherapy and reflexology as I have a great desire to provide these services in Wakefield. I also do Thai yoga massage. If anyone has any suggestions it will be greatly appreciated. Take care for now Sandra

L'Initiative de vitalité des communautés (IVC) est un processus de groupe mobilisateur qui analyse les perceptions des leaders et des citoyens d'une collectivité sur des indicateurs clés ayant un effet sur la vitalité de la communauté. Grâce à un système novateur de sondages en ligne, de questionnaires, de rencontres et de groupes de réflexion, l'opinion des citoyens et leaders de la collectivité est sondée sur tous les sujets allant de la santé économique de la région à sa santé environnementale, en passant par les arts et le travail. Les questionnaires portent aussi sur la sécurité, l'apprentissage, le leadership, l'espace physique, le sentiment de communauté et l'entrepreneuriat. Le 28 février 2006, l'équipe de l'IVC a rencontré un groupe de 23 citoyens de Wakefield. Vingt-cinq autres citoyens de la municipalité ont répondu au questionnaire IVC en ligne durant les semaines qui ont suivi.

Rendezvous Rupert is pleased to present:

Choosing an Authentic Life

Imagine…taking several days to breathe, to listen, to tap into who you are and to what is most important to you. Imagine… discovering ways to embrace and align your vision with your every day life. Just imagine!

An integration of our three signature courses, Visioning, Leading Ourselves, and Navigating the Waves, that’s what this multi-day Authentic Living course is all about.

Working alone and with others you will be guided and supported by a smorgasbord of reflective and action oriented tools and activities (e.g.: self assessments, exercises, conversations, writing, art, yoga, meditation and visualization). Along the way you will be equally nourished and inspired by shared meals, each others' stories, and opportunities to spend time in nature (everything from a walk in the woods to paddling on a quiet lake to bungee jumping!)
