* As mentioned in the Voluntary Sector Initiative (VSI)
overview, the initiative ended as of March 2005. Although the Government of
Canada is demonstrating its ongoing commitment to the work begun by the VSI, the
work is no longer horizontal and each department will be working individually
towards the achievement of their outcomes . Individual department's planned
results will be reported in their DPRs. The Community Awareness Project is the
only remaining VSI funded project being carried out by Social Development Canada
now Human Resources and Social Development.
