In Our Community
Nurturing community vibrancy and resilience.
Our Community Objective
Our motto is that we work together to strengthen communities. One of our four long-term objectives is to nurture community vibrancy and resilience. This means that we initiate and support community initiatives that create cultural, recreational, educational, and socio–economic opportunities in the core neighbourhoods.
Quint nurtures community vibrancy and resilience by:
- Organizing access to free, family-friendly inclusive events;
- Working with partner organizations to coordinate forums for community residents to have a voice in important community discussions;
- Participating in community events and initiatives;
- Working with others to strengthen the core communities.
Supporting our vision of safe, stable and caring communities
Quint actively participates in events that promote cultural diversity and inclusion, and leads initiatives to support community members with informed-decision making on issues that impact them. We make an effort to ensure that our staff and the individuals we support are given opportunities to get out into the community. Our BUS crew and transition home residents show up for core neighbourhood community clean ups, we bring AHP tenants to local powwows, and we host community events for our tenants and residents, and much more. Our staff attend the Saskatoon Pride Parade, National Indigenous Day celebrations, and many other community events as part of their work with Quint.
Partnering for Change
Various partnerships and initiatives provide the theory, community leadership, resources, and guidance to achieve our community economic development work in the west side core.
