A Passionate Team Working for the Greater Good

Transforming communities into places where life can be enjoyed.

Inspired to Bring About Change

Building Communities, Together

We believe every resident should enjoy building a life in the community they call home. Alongside the incredible partners and individuals dedicated to influencing change in their own communities, we work to improve the overall health, welfare, and safety of neighbourhoods. Our goal is to create a place where people may be valued, supported, and encouraged every time they leave their home- all while feeling safe and secure. 

Why We Do What We Do

Our organization was initially created to meet the needs of the Mornelle Court community after a series of horrific gun violence took the life of a 17-year-old teenager who was sent by his mother to purchase a bag of milk. Not only was this young man unable to fulfill his purpose in life, but his death sent ripples of fear and anxiety throughout the community. Parents, afraid to send their children to school or allow them to walk throughout the neighbourhood, needed a support system they could trust. We recognized this need and made it our mission to help lessen the activity and effects of gun violence while bringing peace back to community members. 

Our Mission Begins With You

Our mission is to improve residents’ lives in communities by bringing forth change and inspiring hope and safety. Our focus, our passion lies in improving the health, safety and welfare of the neighbourhoods we work within while creating a place where every person can play, work and grow together. Through providing resources and helpful and relevant information, we can build a secure, peaceful, diverse and inclusive community for all to enjoy. 

Our Vision is Simple. Our Message is Clear.

Empowering Lives to Build Stronger Communities

Together we are working to improve the development of communities, to build a space where learning and knowledge are a priority, and to equip residents with the resources and information they need to have a positive influence in their neighbourhoods.

 

How We Value You and Your Community

Compassion
Every person has a story. We are considerate of everyone’s unique life experiences and strive to create a space in which people can come together, share their stories, and be met with compassion and acceptance.
Mindfulness: Social & Physical Health
The health and well-being of a community are determined by the health and well-being of those who call it home. By fostering and supporting the social, mental and physical health of residents, neighbourhoods can thrive.
Empowerment
Every single person has something spectacular to offer the world. Our team is dedicated to creating spaces where people are free to reach their full potential. Self-empowerment and goal-oriented education are at the heart of everything that we do. 
Impacting Change
Change begins when we encourage people to recognize it, embrace it and pursue it. We can create a better future when we put self-determination and community-focused planning into action.
Inclusivity & Diversity
What makes us unique is something to be celebrated! We work diligently to create an environment where our qualities and diverse talents are appreciated, utilized, and encouraged.
