Toward Common Ground
Toward Common Ground
Toward Common Ground is a partnership of 12 organizations working together intentionally and strategically to respond to community needs. This Trillium-funded project builds on Guelph-Wellington's history of collaboration, providing a new structure for local health and social service agencies to work together in an integrated and coordinated way. This initiative weaves together the work of local agencies to gain a greater understanding of the gaps, needs, strengths, and change efforts in Guelph-Wellington.
Toward Common Ground supports 5 collaboratives to meet as a community of practice. This group works together to understand and address poverty, substance use and addictions, housing and homelessness, and the needs of children and new immigrants living in Guelph and Wellington.
The Toward Common Ground partner organizations are:
- City of Guelph
- Community Resource Centre of North and Centre Wellington
- County of Wellington
- Family and Children’s Services of Guelph and Wellington
- Family Counselling and Support Service for Guelph-Wellington
