The goal is big, to make belonging and caring for each other a dominant part of our culture. It is what we need to feel good and to meet the challenges ahead. To meet this goal, we need to support many communities to make belonging and caring the foundation stone of their culture. Your caring donation helps us engage with more communities. Thank you.
Communities become stronger when people do things with each other. Your donations support us helping communities develop projects that bring people together, projects like Farmer’s Market, Movies in the Park and Corn Boil Challenge.
Technology is not a substitute for face-to-face encounters, but it can make it easier to bring people together in communities where they feel they belong and have the support of each other.. Your donations enable us to subscribe to technologies and develop new ones like the Village Helper app, the Sense of Community app and the Happy Community Project game app.
Not all communities have access to the funds required to provide support, and resources that can make them happier communities. Your donations enable us to reach out to communities like Kabele Uganda as well as Ellershouse Canada with support that they would have never been able to access.
The Happy Community Project has encouraged a lot of people in our community to get involved and to make things happen. I see a big difference.
What I find most amazing about the HCP is the thoroughness of the program and the ease of which it can be implemented, as well as the support offered….and while the number of volunteer hours the core group has accumulated is astonishing, the way the steps for achieving a Happy Community have never been presented in such a fashion.
I love the idea of the Happy Community Project because it embodies so much of what research tells us.
The Happy Community project changed the mindset of 20,000 people in our community, The Happy Community project should be in every community across Canada.
The Happy Community Project facilitates the gathering of change agents and community animators who work together playfully to create more opportunities for all community members to meet one another, build local capacity and together make substantial differences in their shared quality of life.
Therefore be it resolved that Members of the House of assembly congratulate the Happy Community Project making ideas a reality and for building stronger connections within our community.
We have proven the effectiveness of the Happy Community Project Tool Kit. Our success has been recognized internationally by several universities and organizations. Our partners are critical to our success.
