Celebrating Neighbours: Measuring the Impact of ABCD
This workshop will gather together Canada’s premier community development leaders and neighbourhood practitioners to explore the impact of Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) and leading neighbourhood and community revitalizing strategies. We have brought together several of the world’s top authors and practitioners in the field. Together we will explore how communities are strengthening social connectedness, combatting loneliness, and citizen disengagement. This year we also want to explore the Citizen role in climate change and to hear from an Indigenous thought leader about the community.
In addition to 4 skill-based masterclasses, we will offer participants the opportunity to take up to 15 highly practical workshops including experiential neighbourhood tours. We have chosen to host this gathering with Fanshawe College and the City of London and will feature some of the innovative work happening in London, Ontario.

We will learn together, enjoy a sense of community, and explore the gifts we each bring to community life. Professionals working in neighbourhood development, community building and community health will find this workshop indispensable. ABCD is considered a core practice and is recognized around the world as essential knowledge for anyone working to improve their communities.
