York Region Supports North Perth!
“We are delighted to see North Perth joining in the Character Community movement.
The Character Community Foundation of York Region involves volunteers and leaders from the community, government, education and business sectors who are committed to making York Region a Character Community by nurturing positive character attributes and enhancing York Region as a desirable place to live, learn, work and play.
A Character Community is one in which members of the community work together to nurture positive character attributes. It requires a shift in thinking and a focus on attitudes and behaviours that lead to achievement and success. The Character Community Foundation of York Region recognizes 11 character attributes – compassion, courage, fairness, honesty, inclusiveness, initiative, integrity, optimism, perseverance, respect and responsibility.
Good character makes a positive difference in our families, schools, businesses and neighbourhoods by acting as a catalyst for positive change and citizen engagement.
A Character Community attracts people and businesses of character and acts as a driver for economic growth and prosperity. The character message speaks to everyone – all faiths and cultures.
Knowing that there are other groups working towards the same purposed strengthens all of our work and the sharing of ideas and practices makes us all more effective in our education and awareness work.”
