community collaborators, has created the Community Conversations project to start dialogue and fulsome
conversation with our community around the topics of equity, diversity and inclusion.
“This project will include a series of conversations in order to learn alongside community members,” explains
Jodi Cooper, Director Community Impact at United Way Hastings & Prince Edward. “By better understanding
how our community is doing with diversity and inclusion and by learning directly from community members
about how we can improve, then everyone can reflect on recommendations and calls for action to create
communities that are inclusive and equitable.”
The end result for this project will be the creation and distribution of a community action plan that brings
together what was heard in the conversations, the recommendations that came out of the conversations and
how and who should take ownership over the different elements of the recommendations.
“Everyone is invited to attend and we’ve created both virtual and in-person opportunities,” states Cooper.
“With three panelists at each event the community can listen to the panelists’ unique perspectives and will be able
to engage in a conversation about their own experiences if they wish.”
