Helping Create Safe Communities & Neighbourhoods

Every once in while, we find a great resource that is well worth sharing with everyone. Although CiRS operates in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, it’s well worth a look. CiRS is a non-profit source of information for Central Albertans. It seems to me that any community would benefit by using their model and creating a similar organization. After all, their Mission Statement and Vision is powerful stuff!

The synergies that can be created as a result of this type of organization is what every community needs!

Mission Statement: To engage and empower citizens and strengthen our community through efficient and effective information, development, and support.

Their Vision: A strong thriving volunteer sector (Community Services) through leadership and partnership.

CiRS works with individuals and agencies to find the help they need. They offer leadership for conference management, promotion of educational opportunities, volunteer management and program development. This type of organization brings information alive and so can you!

Recently, CiRS produced a great video about “Community”. Various leaders and residents from our community shared their thoughts and I’m sure you will find it as inspiring as I did. Please visit our Community Information Referral Society (CiRS)
