Didsbury's Community Cafe

Didsbury had a coffee and dessert Community Cafe this month as part of their ACE Scanning Tool activities. 32 participants showing very broad representation of the population attended including a range from new residents, long time residents, volunteers with lots of experience and people new to volunteering as well as youth and seniors.

The purpose of the Community Cafe was to use the ACE Community Scanning Tool to gain residents’ opinions on the strengths of the community, areas to work upon, and initiatives that the Didsbury ACE Committee could undertake.

By the end of the workshop, participants had:

· Indicated what direction they as citizens of Didsbury and District want the ACE initiative to take

· Identified some of the community’s strengths and areas that need improvement

· Expressed ideas for the top three priorities for the ACE community to work upon

· Indicated their interest in contributing and being involved with ACE.

Good work, Didsbury! We can't wait to see the results in action.
