Community Development & Vitality

The goal of the Community Development & Vitality is to explore ways to increase our service offer, particularly when it comes to caring for the most vulnerable members of our community.

• Oversee various current initiatives and partnerships to support some of the most vulnerable members of our community, including the Community Christmas Hamper Campaign, McGreevy Manor, and SNACS Entrepreneurs.
• Develop services for special needs adults.
• Explore expansion of services with partners to Levis.
• Advocate for the English-speaking community in terms of its health and social services needs and priorities, particular by helping to ensure formal representation on various public boards, committees, and tables.

In JH Partners’ Community Development & Vitality sector, we are passionately committed to improving the services offered to the most vulnerable members of the English-speaking community in the Greater Quebec City region. Our innovative approach harnesses the dedication, expertise, and complementary strengths of each of our team members to achieve results.

We strive to be a trusted source of information about the health and social needs of the English-speaking community of the Greater Québec City region.  Our goal is to ensure that various policymakers understand and respond to our community’s priorities and needs, especially those of its most vulnerable members.

We are persistent in this long-term effort that involves explaining our mission, services, activities, events, and projects.  We seize every opportunity we can share information about our community’s demographics and unique challenges in terms of health determinants, now and in the years to come.  We use both formal and informal channels to interact with all three levels of government and other decision makers and influencers, such as universities, foundations, and other community organizations, to advocate on behalf of the community we serve.
