The mandate of the Portage la Prairie Community
Revitalization Corporation (PCRC)
is to strengthen
the
well-being of Portage la Prairie by empowering citizens,
enhancing neighbourhoods,
fostering community spirit and
building the capacity of community organizations.
|
|
|
The Portage CRC has six key priority
areas that will be used to guide revitalization activities
in our first 5 years of operation:
· Housing
· Poverty Reduction
· Community Engagement
· Affordable Recreation and Leisure
· Capacity Building
· Organizational Development
The goals for each of these priority areas are listed below.
The PCRC Community Plan and One Year Workplan Summary
Report, provides greater detail on the activities that will
be conducted to meet these goals. While our Five Year
Community Plan is meant to guide the activities of the
organization over the next 5 Years,
it is also flexible in that a review of the Plan will be
conducted annually and it will be updated to reflect any
changing needs or priorities in the community. We welcome
your thoughts and suggestions on how to reach our goals and
potential partnerships.
