Visionary Communities

Visionary Communities: advancing desired neighbourhood futures is a 4-year community-university partnership that aims to enhance conditions for advancing the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and just sustainable futures desired by Kingston-Galloway Orton (KGO) neighbourhood residents and non-profit organizations and grassroots groups. The first stage of work (over 2024) is to listen to the community and surface momentum to better understand community-defined challenges and identify opportunities for building on and enhancing community strengths (relationships, knowledges, experiences). By working closely with residents and community partners in KGO to surface their priorities, visions, and strengths for the neighbourhood, as well as their needs and challenges, we will contribute to meaningful place-based solutions identified and sought by community members and groups themselves.
