Creating vital solutions is next step to Vital Signs for OCF by Julia Le Oakville Beaver Staff 29 | Thursday, May 26, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com The equity gap, affordable housing, inclusion and diversity and mental health are four issues that will be tackled head-on by representatives from charity, not-for-profit, business, government, academia and service organizations over the next few years. The Oakville Community Foundation (OCF) announced earlier this month it's launching the next phase of its 2015 Vital Signs report -- a community building initiative -- with the creation of Creating Vital Solutions. The new project is a "deepdive approach at tackling the four issues in the report, and envisioning sustainable solutions, exploring opportunities for strategic partnerships and organizational synergies," stated an OCF press release. "The Vital Signs report itself was a collaborative initiative, so it Wendy Rinella makes sense that the solutions to the challenges identified in the report be collaborative in nature," stated Wendy Rinella, CEO of the OCF . "We have brought together leaders representing many different sectors across the community to help us in our process to address the most pronounced challenges identified in the Vital Signs report." Representatives from charity, notfor-profit, business, government, academia and service organizations will act as "custodians" and be engaged over the next few years in creative problem-solving community discussions through a variety of formats, including research, forums and conferences. Lead sponsors and partners include: · FirstOntario Credit Union, Title Sponsor, Creating Vital Solutions; · Genworth Canada, Title Pillar Sponsor for Affordable Housing; · Ford Canada, Title Pillar Sponsor for Equity Gap; see OCF on p.30 $700 OFF HI-EFFICIENCY CENTRAL AIR $ AIRE ONE MADNEss sAlE! /mTH OAC* 29 IN I.E.S.O.
