How to Bring Our Community Together
Canada is a nation that prides itself on multiculturalism and the opportunity. Building social connections and a sense of belonging brings people together in ways that strengthen individual relationships as well as the whole community.
There are several things that we can do to develop strong social connections and a sense of belonging :
One of the simplest ways to bring a community together is through shared experiences. Events like an international food festival, a sports league featuring activities from around the world, and health and wellness programs drawing on different cultures, are excellent ways of bringing people together.
Think outside the box. Many of us get caught up in our own routines and practices and forget that there are other ways of doing things. Try talking to different community members, ranging from youths to seniors, to understand their opinions of the world. .
Try new things. Positively influencing our community can go beyond volunteering our time and resources.
Consider getting involved in our community by working for the 2017 Census(人口普查)as an enumerator (普查员) or a crew leader. Census enumerators are responsible for identifying dwellings on maps, conducting personal interviews, and following up respondents in person and by phone, while crew leaders are responsible for leading, training and supervising a team of enumerators. .
A strong feeling of unity in a community can make residents feel comfortable and at home.

community.
