In 2008 we partnered with the Canadian Cancer Society led Community Capacity Building Strategy to find ways of building capacity in the Sea to Sky Corridor. Building community capacity will lead to healthy communities and healthy individuals. The short-term outcome is a Volunteer Training Plan with the long-term objective of recruiting, supporting and retaining volunteers in the Sea to Sky Corridor.

We also partnered with Whistler 2020 a policy initiative affecting communities in the Sea to Sky Corridor.

CTC is a community mobilization project that looks to creating healthier communities, schools, families and individuals. It recognizes the need to work along the continuum of children, youth and families. Both CTC and PCFI (Putting Children First) in the Sea to Sky Corridor recognise that the work of the two coalitions are complimentary. We are working towards active pragmatic partnerships to enhance integration of work in communities.
