Vital Conversations are facilitated conversations that allow us to collect insights, spark connections, and encourage collaborative actions. This summer we held two sessions with non-profits that support the North Shore.

In August we held a session with non-profits from the Health & Wellness, and Youth sectors. Dorri from Vancouver Coastal Health presented some insightful data about the North Shore and non-profits were able to connect and share their insights.

Learn more about this session that helps guide our future research and supports.
