for Neighbourhood Change (ANC) was a unique learning initiative
that explored and assessed approaches to locally-driven neighbourhood
revitalization that can enhance the capacity of individuals and families
to build and sustain strong, healthy communities.
Working with local residents, not-for-profit agencies and public and private
sector partners, ANC combined local resources in new ways to develop creative
locally-based solutions for sustainable community development and neighbourhood
revitalization.
ANC was grounded in the cities of Surrey, Regina,
Thunder Bay, Toronto
and Halifax. Neighbourhood sites were selected
by the local United Ways in consultation with residents, community leaders,
government and key community organizations.
ANC launched in the spring of 2005, and ran for two
years. While the project is officially over, the work of neighbourhood
revitalization continues in the five communities in a variety of forms.
This website, though no longer actively updated, offers
