Brockville, ON. - United Way Leeds & Grenville announced today the release of the Community Conversations Reports conducted through-out Leeds & Grenville.

Citizens of all ages, including youth and seniors, provided their opinions on the Strengths, Challenges and Desired Future for their communities.

This project is the next step in the evolution of the Community Impact agenda and will guide and support the future direction and focus for United Way Leeds & Grenville. Collective Impact, brings people together in a structured way to achieve social change. Using this framework allows United Way to approach old and complex problems in a new way by leveraging likely and unlikely partnerships to change the conditions in our community.
