What does Community mean to you?

"Community is the people we lean on, where we can find support and encouragement." - Joelle Said and Patricia Chiniara (MTLAStudio)
Come join our community, the “village that supports its children” -Hélène Desputeaux (desputeaux+aubin).
"Community is sharing material and knowledge to help everybody improve. A strong sense of community can help foster a sense of love, support and encouragement in anything we wish to achieve!" - Zoe De Parscau and Louise Rivet (Les Filles Plantées)
"Community means for me the group of people working towards same goal, being supportive , caring and share ideas and talents , create together great benefit to others." - Iveta Vicenova (ivkaforest)
Sophie Monkman from Soft Earth Forest Therapy puts it perfectly: “Fundamentally, community means connection, support, and understanding. It means seeing, and being seen. It is reciprocal, and roots us in place.” We're looking forward to meeting you and sharing more about how to get involved.
