HOW TO USE THE

COMMUNITY PLAN GOAL PAGES

The Community Plan outlines 34 broad community goals organized into the 8 community priorities.
For each goal, a two-page spread contains six headings that describe that goal and how the
community can work towards it. The six contained within each two-page spread are described below:

POSITIVE CHANGE IMPACTS

In this section, each goal is highlighted in the middle of an interconnected wheel.
What is highlighted is how progress in a particular goal can have positive impacts
outward to other specific goals or entire priority categories. Use the page numbers
to navigate around the Community Plan and explore interconnections in greater
detail. The interconnections came from input from community members and
organizations.

COMMUNITY MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES POSITIVE CHANGE
Responsibility emerged as a central theme throughout the Community Plan IMPACTS
engagement. Multiple community members voiced that too often, community
members expect organizations and governments to meet all of their needs.
While these agencies have key roles to play in meeting our goals, every
community member also has a role to play in reaching our vision for a
brighter future. The responsibilities highlighted came from input from
community members and organizations.

MEASURING PROGRESS

Knowing how successful we are as a community on a particular goal, or how much work we need to do, is a key part of good
planning. In the Community Plan engagement, community members and organizations described what success would look like
for each goal. The points highlighted under the Measuring Progress section highlight what we can look at within the community
to measure success on specific goals. Further Community Plan initiatives can refine these to be specific indicators that can be
quantitatively measured or qualitatively judged through further community engagement and research.

KEY CHALLENGES AND CONCERNS
This section highlights the key challenges and concerns that community members or organizations voiced during engagement.
These describe some of the root issues that will persist if action is not taken and/or some of the barriers that we will inevitably
face as we try to move forward on a particular goal. Naming and understanding these key challenges and concerns is important
to have realistic and informed discussions about moving forward.

SUGGESTED LEAD PARTNERS
Suggested Lead Partners are identified to highlight some organizations which can lead progress on a specific goal. This list
is not exhaustive or exclusive – in fact, every goal is a responsibility of the entire Six Nations Community – this includes all
organizations, Community members and local businesses. With that in mind however, certain organizations are suggested as
lead partners for each goal according to the following criteria:

• Organizations which identified through engagement that they are taking action on one or more of the particular objectives
identified under a goal
• Only public organizations are listed
• In each category there is “New and Emerging Organizations” to leave space for organizations which may emerge to meet a
particular need
• Organizations are referred to by their umbrella organizations. Larger organizations (such as Health and Social Services)
appear in more places for this reason
