This paper is a must read! Tyler Norris, the founder of Community Initiatives, provides consultation and performance support to community collaborations and healthcare organizations. In this paper he provides a clear snapshot of his vision for positive social change propelled by “deeply inclusive” movements for change across North America. He defines citizen movements as “taking sustained action toward measurably improving human well-being and community quality of life”.

While Tyler's discussion of movements for change is rooted in the context of the American “Communities Movement,” we believe his conclusions have broad application in thinking about the role and design of movements for change within Canada. Access this resource here.
