Conclusion
Page 9 of 10
In the course of this community study on vitality indicators conducted with the Winnipeg Francophone community, we identified a series of best practices in the four target sectors (community governance, health care, immigration and access to government services). The information seems to indicate that there is a degree of community vitality in Winnipeg. Living in the capital and in a province that acknowledges its Francophone population has its advantages for this community.
To get a clearer picture, we developed the basis for a community evaluation tool to guide the community through a systematic process to measure its vitality. This exercise will not only give the community an accurate picture of its strengths and challenges, but also provide it with better tools to plan its own development and meet its partners’ accountability requirements. To build its evaluation capacity, the Winnipeg Francophone community will however need financial and human resources.
