Fernwood NRG is creating a new strategic plan this year and we need your help. A strategic plan is process to determine the direction of an organization based on the needs of the community it serves.

Fernwood NRG will be ­facilitating a series of listening campaigns in the spring with the intention of ­connecting stories, building relationships, and identifying issues within the neighborhood. With this information, ­Fernwood NRG will create a strategic plan to reflect the needs of the neighbourhood.

The listening campaigns will be hosted by trained leaders who will facilitate ­discussions between community ­members. If you are a business, organization, or ­community member in the Fernwood neighbourhood, we want to invite you to be a part of the listening campaigns and support you to host your own. We will provide training to community members interested in being involved in this process.

By broadening our reach of the neighbourhood we can better hear the diverse voices of the community. By creating a culture of listening, we hope to root our organization in relationship and action.

Please connect with Melissa, our Events & Engagement Coordinator, if you are interested in being involved or wanting to host a listening campaign, contact melissa@fernwoodnrg.ca.
