ACE Community Leaders Meet

Explore, discern, dig out, unwrap, bring to light, learn about, get wise to, reveal, and sniff out!

What does all this refer to? These words reflect a "Discover" theme where community leaders took two and a half days to learn, discuss, and apply information – about ACE Communities, personal and community leadership, community development, and a multitude of other topics.

At the end of September an ACE Communities Leaders Retreat was held near Sylvan Lake. Over 20 community leaders met one another and members of the ACE Team. This group of leaders are referred to as "Flight 3"- the communities that were recently accepted as partners for two years with ACE Communities to enhance the quality of life in rural Alberta by strengthening community leadership, collaboration, and innovation through recreation, parks, arts, culture and heritage.

Imagine time set aside to learn about community leadership, discuss what is happening in rural Alberta, and have the opportunity to build connections with other community leaders. The "buzz" both during and after the sessions was phenomenal.

Whenever people have the opportunity to share about their communities the results are amazing... exceptional people and exceptional projects.
