Community Decision-Making Toolkit

Working. Together.

A leader in your community - you actively work towards charting a course for local economic and social benefit. In many cases, this requires decision-making by organizations and individuals to determine quick and acceptable solutions.

Increasingly however, leaders are seeking involvement from community members in order to address complex problems and realize positive results.

The Community Decision-Making Toolkit provides processes and examples to help you. Within this site you will find:

• Decision-Making Tools - a series of adaptable and easy-to-use methods designed to achieve community consensus.
• Case Studies - a growing repository of community decision-making experiences and descriptions, as told by the communities themselves.
• Good Ideas - submissions by Canadian rural communities of methods that have worked for them.
• Tell Us Your Stories - an opportunity to share your community's success stories.
• Comments - contact information for questions you may have about this web site.

Please check this site regularly to access new and updated experiences from locations across Canada.

The ideas and approaches presented on this site are neither exhaustive or definitive.

You know what works in your community. We encourage you to make use of these tools, or variations of them, to assist in your decision-making endeavours.

It is your community. Working. Together.
