Community Developer, Rebecca Doll
and her employer, the Social Planning and Research Council may part company due
to some currently unresolved matters. Rebecca Doll has been involved in
community development work in one form or another for at least six years in our
neighbourhoods. The SPRC is the new game in town with regard to the supervision
of Community Developers.
Losing Rebecca from community development would be a huge loss to this very important endeavour that hundreds
of us in the lower city and beyond are pouring our heart and soul
into.
Rebecca has been instrumental in
guiding four lower city neighbourhoods through such things as the founding
process and many growth phases and initiatives. In some initiatives, Rebecca
has been the initial champion and then followed up her ideas with years of hard
work to deliver these initiative-assets to our
neighbourhoods.
The loss of this valuable
leader-asset is not acceptable.
We the undersigned, respectfully ask
that the two parties agree to mediation, resolve their issues and come back to
doing what they both desire to do: help our neighbourhoods
be great places to live, work and raise a family.
When we talk about "Asset Based Community Development" what we are really talking about are all the incredible people that help make our neighbourhoods great. Rebecca Doll has Championed many of community success stories that are helping to make our neighbourhoods a city wide leader in neighbourhood development. As neighbours we ask that SPRC return to the table of resident led input, empowerment and action.
