Jane Boyd
The following ideas were crowdsourced at an Advisory Group meeting of the Teck Coal Elk Valley Communities of Interest Initiative on January 29, 2014. Additional ideas are welcome!
More active use of social media from the District.
Community events that are open ended. Conversations that involved a food and culture component to attract people and create a sense of a shared experience.
Have a topic "child care issues" example: Have a community forum to share. Invite everyone - citizens, business etc.
Sparwood specific example: don't have a single coffee shop in town.
Loss of access due to mine expansion.
Increased communication with media
More opportunities for the public to engage: Stands in the mall to discuss issues with people once a month.
Facilitating stronger partnerships to create opportunity.
Share fun (celebrate), go on field trips (to see real things) & share food (culturally meaningful).
While no additional note was listed, this person was indicating support for the use of social media tools to support community building and engagement in the Elk Valley.
By using social media people who want to be engaged but also want some anonymity will be able to have that.
