Reviewed progress to date and how other areas feel that we are making good
progress. It is incumbent on the program to make sure we can deliver on
promises to partners and do a few things well rather than try to accomplish
many things and fall short.
Agreed it makes sense to have a LEAVE A LEGACY™ champion in each major
community we serve to provide oversight from a regional perspective.
Suggested that we start with members of CAGP-ACPDP to provide them with
an opportunity to get involved.
www.leavealegacyseo.ca goes live on October 28th . All working group members
were encouraged to sign up to be included before they start promoting program
to others.
Two areas requiring focus by working group includes Partnership Promotion and
Media Outreach. Conclusions and next steps include:
2. Partnership Promotion :

partners (most information on hand) – Liz and Colleen – by November 15th

Establish Linked-In Account and Face Book Page for local program and list
partners with their logos – Chris Winter – by November 30th

in LEAVE A LEGACY™ in the past – all on the understanding they will
communicate that a more formal invitation will likely follow from local program.
