Working groups

After attending five “Grand Rendez-vous” to perform strategic planning, neighbourhood stakeholders were invited to attend one of the five working groups on established priorities.

The 5 working groups

1. Access to high-quality jobs
2. Inadequate housing conditions
3. Lack of access to affordable housing
4. Language barriers that keep residents from developing their full potential
5. The lack of a collective strategic vision to fight poverty

Group members

The working groups will be cross-sectoral and multi-network. They will be made up of:

• 1 or 2 residents
• community groups
• institutional representatives and other community stakeholders
• 1 member from the Steering Committee
• 1 CDC employee

The Steering Committee will take time to put together the working groups in June. The member selection criteria will be:

• Potential to help analyze findings
• Difference in points of view, stakeholder diversity
