This document outlines principles for community mobilization including engaging the whole community through circles of influence, facilitating a process of social change from awareness to support to action, and providing repeated exposure to ideas while promoting community ownership using a human rights framework.
Risk communication is intended to provide audiences with information to make independent risk judgements about health, safety and environmental risks. It involves systematically disseminating information to diverse audiences like individuals, communities and institutions to facilitate informed decision making about risks. Successful risk communication occurs when there is holistic learning, facilitation and trust between information senders like government agencies and receivers like communities. Factors that affect success include the content and form of messages, communication channels and recipient perceptions. Sensitivity to cultural differences is also important for effective risk communication.

GIS can help improve the urban planning process in 3 key ways:
1) GIS creates a centralized database to store and organize all spatial and attribute data for a city, making it easier to access, analyze, and use for decision making.
2) Satellite images and GIS tools allow planners to rapidly map land use changes, identify areas for future development, and update infrastructure like roads over time.
3) GIS provides analysis capabilities like overlaying maps and proximity analysis that help planners experiment with development alternatives and make more rational, data-driven decisions.
Tools and Techniques Used in the Guidance ProcessCey Gloria
This document discusses various guidance techniques for collecting data about individuals, including observation, autobiographical sketches, and anecdotal records. Observation involves a trained observer watching and recording an individual's behaviors without bias. Autobiographical sketches have the individual write about their own life in their own words to provide personal insights. Anecdotal records are short descriptions of significant events or behaviors observed in an individual by teachers and counselors. The document provides examples of each technique.

A City Councillor, as well as an RCMP Officer, both indicated to me that
traffic issues were one of the biggest problems the community faced.

Many social service resources, including this one, are
shared with Maple Ridge. This is both a positive and
negative. Since Maple Ridge is the larger community, most
of the social services are located there.

Goal
To join hands with community partners, offering
public events that capture a community

between all interested parties.
I recently attended one of their events, which
definitely met these goals.

As with most of Pitt Meadows’ community events, Pitt Meadows
Day welcomes all residents, as there are free activities for all ages.

I have listed the Katzie First Nation on the Needs Map, but they are also part of the Strengths Map under racial diversity. Although the Katzie people have many needs, I believe they are also one of the biggest strengths of the community.
One of the biggest challenges mentioned by City Councillors was protecting the environmental sensitive land of the community.
Both a City Councillor and a RCMP Constable told me that traffic issues were one of the biggest challenges faced by the community.
MRPM Community Services is a definite strength within the community. Some programs are run in Pitt Meadows, although some are in Maple Ridge, as the offices are located there. Many resources are shared with Maple Ridge, which can be both positive and negative. Because Maple Ridge is the bigger city, Pitt Meadows residents often have to go there for services.
Currently under construction, it will be finished in the Fall of this year.
This is a relatively new association. I went to one of their community events and found it met their goals of capturing a community atmosphere and sense of neighbourhood.
This is just a sample of some of the events and festivals in Pitt Meadows. For the most part, they really build a sense of community, as they are open to everyone and are usually free.
Pitt Meadows Day is the biggest event of the year in the community. It is a full day event with activities for all ages, ending with fireworks at night. As the news article mentions, thousands of people participate.
I was unable to get a picture of the carvings, but I have seen them in the library and they are really quite amazing when you consider how many “unskilled” people worked on them. I think it is another good example of community building.
