☀️This past weekend, United Way BC's Sardis team gathered at Sardis Public Library for a Legacy Networking event. A dozen community members and Community Champions didn't let the gloomy weather get them down as they united to celebrate the impact they have made in their neighbourhood.
🌟Led by Community Builder Teri and Community Engagement Specialist, Elizabeth, the group shared experiences and explored new ways to continue strengthening local connections as this Chilliwack neighbourhood transitions from an active community to a legacy community, where members continue building upon their strengths to lead meaningful change. The group reflected on the work they have done to secure and deepen relationships, and shared valuable lessons to carry forward. They will also get lots of tips and tools from the new Community Champions' Workbook for Community Engagement. This valuable guide serves as a resource for anyone hoping to make their community stronger through volunteer-led projects. Check it out here: https://bit.ly/4ijCfyN
💗"From community events to meaningful conversations, we’ve built something special—a network of neighbours who show up, support one another, and strengthen the foundation of this community. None of this would have been possible without the dedication and heart of our volunteers. Their efforts, insights, and kindness have shaped this program in ways that will carry forward long." - Teri
Together, we are UNITED for communities.
