Let's Talk Social Planning: FORUM
Update me
This consultation has concluded.
Social Planning is about people - ensuring that, as the City grows and develops, the needs of people living and working in Richmond are effectively addressed.
Looking forward over the next 10 years, will we have enough childcare spaces? Will there be appropriate services and resources for our older adults? Will we be able to better integrate immigrants into the community while also ensuring the needs to longer term residents are respected? What should we do to address concerns of homelessness, people with disabilities, affordable housing, or addictions? What role should other partners (e.g. the Federal and Provincial Governments, community agencies) play in responding to Richmond's social issues?

What would you do to make the community more welcoming and inclusive for our youth?

Youth often report being stereotyped and discriminated against or not having a voice in things that matter to them. When youth are able to safely express themselves and find meaningful involvement in their world, they tend to exhibit thriving behaviours. These can also act as protective factors for them in risky situations and strengthen their personal development.
